PSG Win 1-0 Against Arsenal in the UCL Semi Final
PSG win 1-0 against Arsenal in the UCL semi final, taking a crucial advantage back to Paris. Ousmane Dembélé scored the only goal at the Emirates Stadium, giving Luis Enrique’s side the upper hand in this high-stakes tie.
Dembélé struck early. In just the fourth minute, he finished a swift move with a clinical shot off the post. PSG dominated the opening stages, pressing Arsenal and creating several chances. Marquinhos nearly doubled the lead with a header, while Kvaratskhelia tested the Arsenal defense repeatedly.
Arsenal, playing their first Champions League semi-final since 2009, struggled at the start. However, they grew into the match. By halftime, Arsenal had regained composure and started to control possession. Gabriel Martinelli came close to equalizing, but Gianluigi Donnarumma made a spectacular save to keep PSG ahead.
Second Half
After the break, Arsenal pushed harder. Mikel Merino thought he had scored with a header, but VAR ruled it offside. Leandro Trossard nearly found the net, only for Donnarumma to make another brilliant stop. Despite Arsenal’s late pressure, PSG’s defense held strong.
PSG also missed chances to extend their lead. Bradley Barcola and Gonçalo Ramos both failed to convert clear opportunities late in the match. Still, the French champions leave London with a valuable away win.
This result puts PSG in a strong position for the second leg at Parc des Princes. Arsenal now face a tough challenge if they want to reach the Champions League final. The winner of this tie will meet either Inter Milan or Barcelona in Munich.
What does this mean for PSG? They are now favorites to reach the final and possibly win the tournament for the first time. For Arsenal, the dream is not over, but they must deliver a big performance in Paris.
