As the Champions League semi-finals kick off, all eyes are on tonight’s clash at the Emirates, where Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain in a much-anticipated first leg showdown.
Speaking ahead of the match, PSG manager Luis Enrique shared his thoughts on what it’ll take for his side to come out on top. For him, it’s all about maintaining balance throughout the game.
“We’ll need to be sharp in every moment — on and off the ball,” Enrique said. “Both teams are well-matched, and every detail matters. Each player must rise to the occasion.”
On the other side, Mikel Arteta is counting on Arsenal’s home crowd to bring the noise. With the Gunners just one step away from a possible final appearance, the manager is urging fans to turn up with unmatched energy.
“This is more than just another match. It’s a moment,” Arteta said. “Let’s make the Emirates electric. We need every chant, every cheer — make it feel like we’re all out there on the pitch together.”
The two teams last met in the group stages, where Arsenal claimed a 2-0 win. But with both clubs now eyeing European glory, tonight’s clash promises to be a fiery test of tactics, teamwork, and tenacity.
