Paris Saint-Germain made a remarkable performance by winning 1-0 on Arsenal’s lawn during the semifinal game of the Champions League. The Parisians controlled their subject against the Gunners, who had no longer experienced the home defeat in this competition since 2016. While some observers praised the Parisian feat, others such as Daniel Riolo nuanced this success by highlighting the missed opportunities at the end of the game.

Nuno Mendes, the Parisian side, was satisfied with the victory but called for caution before the game returned to the Parc des Princes. “It’s a big step, we have a goal ahead, it gives us confidence. We have to keep going, stay focused, there’s another game. We know what to do, we know the quality of our players, our coach. We’re proud of ourselves, we’re together, we’re a family, it’s the key to getting there today,” he said in the mixed zone after the game.

The PSG will have to confirm its advantage at the return game next Wednesday at Parc des Princes to write a new page of its history in this competition.
