17. Kvaratskhelia runs at three Arsenal defenders and ghosts in between them all.
He has a sight of goal but ends up in a bundle on the floor.

Sometimes the review process makes you feel you are playing the Italian mafia in Naples, no danger of getting a fair crack.

There's mayhem in the away end as PSG fans celebrate that goal. They also lit three flares so that will be a UEFA charge as well.
But Mikel Arteta will be furious with the way Ousmane Dembele had so much room to stroll through the midfield with the ball to start the move before scoring.

The atmosphere is really building inside the Emirates Stadium and there were huge roars when the players' names were read out.
The win over Real Madrid in the quarter-finals was the greatest night since the club moved here in 2006 but a victory against PSG will beat that.
Despite PSG playing terrific football this season - apart from the last four games - I still fancy an Arsenal win.

Missing players out pitchside
Gabriel Jesus and Thomas Partey came out of the tunnel to watch their teammates go through their training drills.
The Brazilian is out for the season after an ACL injury, seeming to be a regular thing with those knees of his.
Partey on the other hand, picked up a silly booking late on in the Real Madrid game to see him suspended for this first-leg.

The Arsenal players are out warming up, but the PSG ultras have been in their seats for the past hour preparing, rehearsing and pumping themselves up.
Most of the travelling French fans in the away end are without shirts and have already produced some almighty chants and songs to set the mood in an Emirates Stadium that is filling up nicely.
Mikel Arteta told the fans this week: "Bring your boots, your shorts, your shirts" in a rallying cry, and it must be said, there do appear to be more Arsenal home shirts on show than normal.
