According to reports, Luis Enrique has built a team with his own signature. Paris Saint-Germain is on the verge of reaching another UEFA Champions League final, and this success is the result of the Spanish coach’s exceptional efforts. Last night, in the first leg of the semi-final at the Emirates Stadium, PSG defeated Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal 1-0, putting them in a strong position to secure their ticket to the final in Munich.

The French giants, who have already won Ligue 1, are closer than ever to achieving a historic treble this season. They are just 90 minutes away from returning to Europe’s most prestigious final, with the Coupe de France final against Reims (Saturday, May 24) also awaiting them. Last year, they won Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France but were stopped in the Champions League semi-finals. Now, they have double the motivation.

What stands out is their path in the Champions League knockout stages. They are on the brink of completely dismantling the Premier League. Although Real Madrid eliminated Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, Luis Enrique’s team is about to eliminate their third consecutive English opponent in the Round of 16, quarter-finals, and semi-finals.

PSG dealt a massive blow when they eliminated Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool in the Round of 16, leaving the Reds with only the Premier League title to chase. Then, in the quarter-finals, they knocked out Aston Villa. Next week, they aim to complete the job against Arsenal in the semi-finals.

Paris Saint-Germain Struck Early in England
With Ousmane Dembélé’s fourth-minute goal in the first leg, PSG can now boast about knowing how to catch English teams off guard early. In the second leg against Liverpool, Dembélé also scored in the 12th minute at Anfield. Against Aston Villa, Achraf Hakimi scored in the 11th minute.

Against Liverpool, the match went to penalties, while against Villa, they won by a single goal on aggregate. Now, with the second leg to be played in Paris—unlike the previous two ties that concluded in England—Luis Enrique’s team must secure their place in the Champions League final.
