Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta speaking to TNT Sports: "When you look at the two games their best player on the pitch has been the goalkeeper, he has been the difference for them in the tie. We were very close, much closer than the result showed but unfortunately we are out. I am very proud of the players.

"After 20 minutes it should have been 3-0. There is something extra you need to go your way in the competition and it didn't. We were very close and for long periods of both games we were much better than them but we are not there and that has to hurt.

"If we want to win this competition we have to realise that. There are certain things that are on us. You shouldn't just be understanding we are out. That is not the way I look at it.

"100% I don't think there's been a better team [than Arsenal] in the competition from what I have seen, but we are out. This competition is about the boxes and in both boxes are the strikers and the goalkeepers and theirs was the best in both games."

Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard speaking to TNT Sports:

"We gave it a proper go. We started the game really well. We were on the front foot, had the momentum, a few big chances but in the end it wasn't enough. Between the boxes we did well inside the two over the two games we weren't good enough. Credit to their goalkeeper who made amazing saves. It wasn't enough and that's painful.

"In the boxes, especially today what we did with the ball between the boxes we dominated the ball and took the control of the game from the start. We were not strong enough in the boxes and that's where we lost it.

"It's painful, we wanted to do the big thing, a big goal in the league and the Champions League. Massive disappointment but we have to stay strong and together. Take the lessons, take the pain and use it to come back stronger.

"We have to learn from this. We did a lot of good things but it's not enough. In front of goal is where games are decided and that's where we have to be sharper. We have to use this pain in a good way."

Thanks to everyone who's got in touch so far. Keep texting. So many takes to get through...

Difficult to take for Arsenal. Another semi-final they end up losing. It's becoming a little bit of a habit which is not great.

It just didn't happen for them in this game.

PSG, out of all the Champions League teams I've seen this season, they're in a special moment at this club.

There's a real feeling from me that this is going to be their time.

Thanks Matt. Who were the players that were found out?

Who's not quite good enough for Champions League semi-finalist level?

Paris St-Germain manager Luis Enrique responding to Mikel Arteta's claims that Arsenal were the best team in the Champions League this season: "Mikel Arteta is a great friend, but I don't agree at all.

"They played in a clever way and they got the match to the right moment for them because they played in the way they wanted, and the way they love. But in the two legs we scored more than them and that is the most important thing in football.

"Arsenal played a great match, and we suffered, but we deserved to get to the final. They are a great team, but I repeat, we scored more goals, we played in a great way in the first leg, and the second half of the second leg was a different match, and we could have scored even more goals."

Thanks Graham. How about a Chelsea full-back? Ben Chilwell returns from his loan spell on June 1.

You can hate the idea, but you've got to admit when you close your eyes you can see Chilwell in an Arsenal kit.

Arsenal's bid to reach the Champions League final ended in failure as they were beaten by Paris St-Germain on a night of drama at Parc des Princes.

The Gunners' attempt to overturn a 1-0 first-leg deficit ran aground on another magnificent display by PSG's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma.

The Italian, outstanding in the first leg at Emirates Stadium, delivered a repeat performance with a series of stunning saves to keep Arsenal at bay early on.

He made an outstanding stop from Gabriel Martinelli, then an even better save from Martin Odegaard's low long-range drive as PSG were rocked back.

PSG cashed in to take the lead on the night when Fabian Ruiz collected Thomas Partey's headed clearance to flash a 20-yard finish past Arsenal keeper David Raya with the help of a slight deflection after 27 minutes.

In thrilling encounter, Donnarumma produced another stunning save to deny Bukayo Saka, before Raya got in on the act by saving Vitinha's poor spot-kick after Myles Lewis-Skelly was penalised for handball.

Partey was the culprit when PSG extended their lead after 72 minutes, losing possession before Achraf Hakimi scored on the turn.

Saka did finally beat Donnarumma with an angled finish four minutes later, but it was not enough to spark a comeback, although he then shot over an open goal.
