Arsenal will face PSG in the Champions League Semi-final. In the first leg, the Gunners have a big advantage when playing at home at Emirates Stadium.
Before the match, coach Mikel Arteta spoke about his joy, when he brought the Champions League Semi-final match to Arsenal for the first time in 19 years. He was quoted by Metro: "This is probably one of the biggest matches the Emirates have seen since we built it. And yet, everything is full of energy, enthusiasm and waiting for tomorrow.
In fact, we are one of the four strongest teams in Europe. That shows how much our thinking, spirit and we really want that. Yes, we are making history. It's a beautiful story right now, but we want more than that.
Arsenal have had an extremely impressive performance in this year's Champions League journey. The highlight was defeating defending champions Real Madrid 5-1 in the quarter-finals. Arteta continued to call on his players to go further: "We have a great opportunity. I mean, we are here to make everyone happy, to make history and we are very close. Now we have to seize the opportunity and make it a reality.
In the group stage, PSG faced Arsenal and lost 0-2. Therefore, the pressure on coach Enrique and his students will be greater. The Spanish coach affirmed that Paris is now a different version: "Today we are a much better team. This is a promising match, not only an opportunity for Arsenal to make history, but also an opportunity for PSG to affirm their strength".
