The script remains open
When PSG led Bayern with a score of 5-2, many viewers of the match thought of a negative scenario for the "Bayern" even though they played the second leg at home. The 3-goal gap at that time was large enough for Allianz Arena to hardly become a solid support for Harry Kane and his teammates.
However, the goals of Luis Diaz and Dayot Upamecano kept all hope for Vincent Kompany's team before the second leg. They only lost to PSG by a 1-goal difference and anything could happen in Germany.
With the match between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, the second leg at the Emirates is also no less unpredictable as the two teams drew at Wanda Metropolitano. The way Arsenal and the opponent play makes every scenario extremely unpredictable in the second leg when it is not known which side will attack.
It is likely that the match between Arsenal and Atletico at the Emirates will continue to be unbeaten in 90 minutes if there is no variable large enough like a red card or a penalty.
PSG and Bayern will continue to attack
Answering an interview after winning the MVP in the first leg semi-final at the "Park of the Princes", the reigning Ballon d'Or winner - Ousmane Dembele said that there is no reason for PSG to stop playing offensively at the Allianz Arena. Meanwhile, on the other side, when being led by 1 goal, Bayern is forced to take the lead again with a difference of at least 1 goal if they do not want to be eliminated.
The fulcrum for both teams to believe in a fiery duel next is the trio they possess. On Bayern's side, the trio Luis Diaz - Harry Kane - Michael Olise together created 100 goals for the "Gray Wolf" after the first leg semi-final just passed. They both scored in the first leg, so they are very eager to continue scoring in the second leg.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the trio Kvicha Kvaratskhelia - Ousmane Dembele - Desire Doue of PSG also showed a correspondence in terms of class. In the first leg, although not scoring, Doue also had 1 assist. Meanwhile, Kvaratskhelia and Dembele each have 1 double. This year is Kvaratskhelia's year when he has 10 goals and 5 assists after 14 matches in the Champions League this season. In a summer without participating in the World Cup, the Georgian star is trying very hard to make a strong personal mark.
Will Arsenal and Atletico lead each other into extra time?
Arsenal and Atletico both continue to maintain a series of good matches after the confrontation at Wanda Metropolitano. For the away team, they are still the only team that has not lost any match in the Champion League this season. 20 years since the last time they reached the final of the most prestigious European playground, Mikel Arteta's team is very determined to recreate what Thierry Henry's legendary generation did in 2006.
Meanwhile, with Atletico Madrid in the era of Diego Simeone, they have never lost to any English team at home in the Champions League knockout matches. Under the Argentine strategist, Atletico has reached the Champions League final twice but both times lost to Real Madrid.
Three times over", this time Atletico fans are very hopeful that Julian Alvarez and his teammates can once again bring the team to the final to nurture hopes of touching the prestigious silver cup. When Real Madrid is no longer a "natural rival", if they reach the final, Simeone's confidence will be much greater.
According to The Athletic's ranking, among the 10 big teams that have never won the Champions League, Atletico and Arsenal are the teams sharing the top 2 positions. They are very eager to change their lives once, to be crowned king and to be absolutely respected like what PSG did last season.
