Paris conquered Emirates Stadium for the first time! The thigh returns in the second round, and Arsenal still has a chance

reporter Han Bing reported that under the gaze of Wenger and British Prime Minister Stamer, the Emirates Stadium fell into silence in just 4 minutes. Rice's missile-accurate free kick in the Champions League quarter-finals seems to have become a distant memory; and Paris Saint-Germain, which has returned to the Emirates Stadium after nearly 7 months, seems to be a complete transformation - this is not the Champions League semi-final that Arsenal fans are looking forward to.

Arsenal was considered the biggest favorite to win the Champions League championship before the game. After the game, Paris Saint-Germain replaced the home team, which was the most optimistic about the outside world. The performances of Kvaratsch, Dembele and Vitinia make Paris Saint-Germain more like a team that should be in the finals. The Georgian winger passed the ball to Dembele from the left in the opening 4 minutes, and the latter shot into the post and entered the net. This is the fastest goal Arsenal conceded in the Champions League since September 2016. At that time, his opponent was also Paris Saint-Germain. Cavani scored in one minute of the game.

Demberle's Champions League scored 8 goals and 3 assists in 11 goals, tying Mbappe's record of winning the Paris Saint-Germain player in the single-season Champions League (2020/21 season). Since the 1992/93 season, French players tied for the second most goals in the Champions League in a single season (8 goals), the same as Trezege, Benyedel and Mbappe. The French winger has 32 goals and 13 assists in 45 games this season, participating in 45 goals, and achieving a top-notch performance of 1 goal per game.

Saka and Rice lost their starlight at Real Madrid, and lost Thomas's Odgao, and became a "lowest" that night. In poor form, Arsenal is at a disadvantage in the midfield and loses its previous viewing ability, so it is difficult for Arsenal players to get into the state. The players of Paris Saint-Germain are happy to run. Dembele's goal has been scored 26 times, making it the most pass record of Paris Saint-Germain in a single game in the Champions League since Opta's 2003/04 season, which shows Paris Saint-Germain's ball-control ability.

Paris Gran Paris Saint-Germain in the first half was the first team to shoot at least four times against Arsenal since Barcelona in March 2016. Since Marseille in 1991, the French team has entered the Champions League semi-finals for the first time away lead 10 times. In addition, Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon's single-game elimination in Portugal in the 2019/20 season are not considered away games. Monaco also played away in London in the 2003/04 Champions League semi-finals, but drew 2-2 with Chelsea. Paris Saint-Germain has entered the Champions League semi-finals three times in the last five seasons. It lost to Manchester City and Dortmund in the first leg in the previous semi-finals, and this time it finally reversed its disadvantage.

Although Merino's header in the 50th minute of the second half was judged by VAR to be invalid, Martinelli and Trosad's must-have goals in the first and second half were both resolved by goalkeeper Donnarumma, who performed well in Paris Saint-Germain. But if it weren't for luck, Arsenal might have lost more at home: Balcola missed a good opportunity to expand the score before the game, and then Gonzalo Ramos shot the crossbar again. This is Paris Saint-Germain's 9th Champions League goal post this season, only less than Manchester City (10 times).

Arsenal originally had enough psychological advantages over Paris Saint-Germain, and had not defeated 2 wins and 3 draws in the previous five matches. In the early 1993/94 season semi-finals, Arsenal won 1-0 at Highbury Stadium, and drew 1-1 in the second leg to advance to the finals and won the championship. This season's group stage won 2-0 at home, but lost 0-1 in this game, making the five games against Paris Saint-Germain undefeated. This is the first time Arsenal lost to the French team in seven home games in the Champions League quarterfinals after losing to Monaco 1-3 at home in 2016. This is the third time Arsenal has lost 18 times at home against French teams since losing to Lons in 1999. It is also the first home defeat in the Champions League since Arteta coached Arsenal, and has been unbeaten in 11 home games with 9 wins and 2 draws.

What frustrated Arsenal fans was that Arsenal had lost five first leg in the European knockout stage and never made a comeback to advance. Paris Saint-Germain won away in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage in the previous 18 times, but only one time did not advance to the next round. However, the only time is against Premier League teams: Paris Saint-Germain won 2-0 away in the first leg of the Champions League in 2019, and was eliminated at home with a goal difference 1-3 in the second leg. With a loss in the first leg of the semi-finals in the Champions League history, only Ajax in the 1995/96 season and Tottenham Hotspurs in the 2018/19 season entered the finals. Coincidentally, Tottenham eliminated Ajax and entered the finals, relying on away goals to advance.

Of course, there is no difference in home and away goals in the Champions League today. The Gunners' true thigh Thomas' return to release the ban and Dembele's injury changes are all hopes of the Gunners' reversal in the second round.

In the game that Thomas missed this season, Arsenal only won 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss against top league teams in 5 games, but the winners were only relegation teams such as Ipswich and West Ham United. They lost to Paris Saint-Germain this game, and the overall performance of the team was far inferior to the match between the two sides in the league stage 7 months ago. In Paris, Dembele withdrew from the game due to a hamstring injury in the second half and will undergo a detailed examination today. The French media will not be optimistic about his injury. After the game, Enrique also said that Dembele's injury was relatively mild, but there are still questions in the second round.

Atletico Madrid and Liverpool have taken away the victory in the Princes Stadium this season, but Arsenal may not have a chance by one goal.
