Arsenal must overcome a one-goal deficit when they visit Paris Saint-Germain at Parc des Princes on Wednesday in their Champions League semi-final second leg. The Gunners find themselves in a challenging position after Ousmane Dembele’s early strike secured a 1-0 victory for PSG at the Emirates in the first leg.
This situation evokes memories from nineteen years ago when Arsenal experienced Champions League disappointment in the French capital. Now, Mikel Arteta’s side must accomplish what only two teams have previously managed in Champions League history – overturning a home first-leg deficit to reach the final.
PSG enters the match with confidence despite a surprising 2-1 league defeat to Strasbourg following their Emirates triumph. The French champions, who have already secured their domestic title, will look to capitalize on their home advantage.
For Arsenal, this represents their biggest European night in years. The London club must find a way to breach PSG’s defense while remaining vigilant against the French side’s dangerous counter-attacks. With stars like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ødegaard, Arsenal possesses the creative talent needed for a comeback, but they’ll need clinical finishing to advance to what would be their first Champions League final since 2006.
