Paris Saint-Germain hosts Arsenal today in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal, seeking to advance to the final for the first time since 2020. PSG holds a narrow 1-0 lead entering the match at Parc des Princes. A victory would move them one step closer to securing a first title in the competition.
The French club secured the first-leg advantage in North London with an early goal. Public sentiment, according to recent polls, suggests confidence among fans that PSG can maintain its lead and reach the championship match.
The club's quest for a European trophy brings up a common inquiry: has PSG Won Champions League? Despite domestic dominance, the answer remains no. Their deepest run ended in a final appearance in 2020, where they ultimately fell short of lifting the trophy.PSG's path to this stage included overcoming several opponents. They advanced past Liverpool in the round of 16 in a tie decided by penalties. In the quarterfinals, they defeated Aston Villa.Coach Luis Enrique, in his second season with the team, has shaped the squad into a cohesive unit. Players like Ousmane Dembélé have contributed offensively, including scoring the lone goal in the first leg against Arsenal.
Should PSG defeat Arsenal, they would face Italian side Inter Milan in the UEFA Champions League final on May 31 in Munich. Inter Milan has already secured its place in the final.Current odds place PSG among the favorites to win the competition. Their performance throughout the season has led some observers to label them a top team in Europe.PSG has not always found success at the semi-final stage. They lost at home in this round in 2021 against Manchester City and again last season against Borussia Dortmund. Winning today would mark their first two-leg semi-final victory in the tournament.
