There is no doubt that Mikel Arteta and Luis Enrique will give their all on the field, leaving no room for hesitation in this intense battle.

Arsenal, after eliminating the European kings, Real Madrid, stunned the Santiago Bernabéu last night and also overcame PSV Eindhoven in the round of 16 to reach this stage. Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain secured their spot in the semi-finals after a tough and thrilling victory over Aston Villa in the quarter-finals and a win against one of the main contenders, Liverpool, in the round of 16.

Historically, these two teams have faced each other five times, with Arsenal winning twice and three matches ending in draws. Two of these encounters were in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup in the 1994-95 season, where Arsenal advanced to the final. Two other matches took place in the group stage of the 2016-17 Champions League, both ending in draws.

Their last meeting was in the group stage of this season’s Champions League, where Arsenal won 2-0, making Paris Saint-Germain’s path to the knockout stages difficult. At that time, even Luis Enrique, PSG’s Spanish coach, faced criticism. Football changes quickly, and Paris now has the chance to turn things around with their first-ever victory against the Gunners—a success that would take them to their second Champions League final in history.
