PSG's Edge over Arsenal in Champions League Semifinal

PSG takes 1-0 lead in Champions League semifinal against Arsenal

PSG Earned a Crucial Advantage: Ousmane Dembélé scored the only goal in a 1-0 semifinal first-leg win against Arsenal at the Emirates on Tuesday. Dembélé, who has 45 goal involvements this season, gave PSG a strong lead. But PSG missed chances to score a second, keeping the second leg alive for Arsenal. The Gunners had a goal ruled out for offside and Donnarumma made crucial saves. PSG's strength in depth was evident compared to Arsenal's lack of options.

Player Performances: Merino filled in at center forward but Partey's suspension affected the midfield. Dembélé's clinical finishing was outstanding. Saka struggled against Kvaratskhelia.

Manager Insights: Luis Enrique deserves more respect and has built an exciting PSG team.
