Arsenal’s task now is steep. They must overturn a deficit in Paris against a PSG side that looks vastly improved under Luis Enrique.
The Spaniard has moulded a team full of balance and attacking verve, including standout performances from Dembele, teenage star Desire Doue, and Kvaratskhelia — a new addition representing a shift from the club’s previous ‘Galacticos’ era.

00:00Declan Rice set the tone with a stark warning before Arsenal's Champions League semi-final
00:07against Paris Saint-Germain.
00:08If we don't have the ball, we die, his words, spoken in a pre-match huddle at the Emirates
00:14Stadium, proved painfully true.
00:18Arsenal now trail 1-0 heading into the second leg in Paris, undone by precisely the scenario
00:23Rice feared, losing control early.
00:27PSG dominated from the start with Ajmen Dembele scoring after just four minutes to finish
00:32a flowing 26-pass move set up by Kratis Celia.
00:38It was a moment that captured Arsenal's vulnerability and PSG's intent.
00:42In the opening 26 minutes, the visitors had 71.6% possession and completed 165 passes by
00:49Arsenal's 60.
00:52Also, Mikel Arteta's side steadied in the second half, enjoying the majority of possession.
00:58From that point forward, they couldn't break through PSG's discipline shape.
01:02Gianluigi Donnarumma redeemed himself for past Emirates errors with key saves from Gabriel
01:08Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.
01:10We have to go to Paris and win the game, and we are more than capable of doing it, because
01:16I saw two very good teams where the margins are so small, and they had efficiency in front
01:21of the goal, and their keeper as well made a difference to see the result that we've
01:25seen tonight.
01:26Arsenal now face a steep task to overturn the deficit in Paris against a PSG side that looked
01:33vastly improved under Luis Enrique.
01:36The Spaniard has moulded a team full of balance and attacking Verve, including standout performances
01:41from Dembele, teenage star Desai Adouye and Kratis Celia, a new addition representing a shift
01:48from the club's previous bling-bling era.
01:53With Thomas Partey suspended and opportunities missed, Arsenal's regrets are clear, but
01:57Rice's pre-match warning still echoes.
02:02If Arsenal are to reach their first Champions League final since 2006, they must now find
02:08a level that PSG look far more comfortable operating at.
02:13And they are looking for a second at.
02:16So that's the final time, I think that side is a nice little bit, but I think the
02:18level and idea of the order of the Apollo is fully served as a great leader is doing
02:20in Paris.
02:22And, as we've seen the dIs, in the middle of the Sandar, and there is aanch稿 that
02:24have been closed for the first month.
02:24And then there is no way to look for it, and it can be covered by the European side of the
02:27парave.
02:28But here it's significant.
02:29You can see that there is an example of the other side of the CRS, which means you can see the
02:32share of the side of the coin, and this is an example of the
02:36body, which is the most part of the Art of Superposition Association.
