Paris Saint-Germain registered a 1-0 win away to Arsenal in their UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg on Tuesday night.
Mikel Arteta handed recalls Bukayo Saka and Mikel Merino to bolster the attack, while PSG manager Luis Enrique went with the same side that started the loss to OGC Nice on Saturday.
PSG got off to the perfect start as Ousmane Dembele combined with Khvicha Kvaratskhelia before sending a first-time shot into the far corner from around 12 yards out.
While the Gunners struggled to get their foot on the ball, PSG carved out another chance on 30 minutes through Desire Doue, who created some space in the box before unleashing low strike that was brilliantly kept out by David Raya.
That nearly changed for the hosts on the stroke of halftime after Myles Lewis-Skelly's fine pass sent Gabriel Martinelli through on goal, however Gianluigi Donnarumma popped up with a vital save to deny the Brazilian winger.
The Gunners thought they had equalised minutes after the restart when Merino headed home Declan Rice's free-kick, but the celebrations were cut short after the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) spotted on an offside.
The Ligue 1 champions dropped deeper in the second half as Arteta's men started to dominate possession, but Donnarumma came to the rescue once again before the hour mark with a fine low save to keep out Leandro Trossard's strike.
PSG had a couple big chances to extend their advantage in the final ten minutes, with substitute Gancalo Ramos going closest by rattling the crossbar after the Gunners went to sleep at the back.
Luis Enrique's men, however, will head back to Paris with a slim advantage for next week's second leg.
