Arsenal faces uphill battle against PSG in UCL semi-final

Arsenal faces a challenging task in their quest for a Champions League final spot after losing 1-0 to PSG in the semi-final first leg, with Ousmane Dembele scoring the decisive goal. Manager Mikel Arteta emphasized that his team must 'do something special in Paris' to overturn the deficit, drawing parallels to their earlier comeback against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals. Arteta and his players expressed confidence in their ability to win away, highlighting that small margins and PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's key saves were critical in the first leg. Despite being outplayed in the opening stages, Arsenal created significant chances but were denied by strong opposition defending and goalkeeping. Both teams recognize the narrow gap between them, with Arteta reiterating that extraordinary efforts are required to progress. Arsenal, who have not reached the final since 2006, must now secure an away victory in Paris to keep their Champions League ambitions alive.
