After PSG’s 1-0 win at Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinals last week in London, the team coached by Luis Enrique are called to make another statement win against the side coached by Mikel Arteta at their home stadium in Paris on Wednesday.
In terms of the two squads, PSG have their star Ousmane Dembele back in the team ahead of the Arsenal game, as the Frenchman has recovered in time after suffering a hamstring injury in the last days after scoring the crucial 1-0 goal against the Gunners in London. Both key players, Desire Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, are expected to be part of the starting eleven alongside midfielders Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, and Joao Neves. PSG head coach Luis Enrique spoke ahead of the return leg in the pre-match press conference, in what might become one of the most important PSG matches in recent history, as the French giants might play their second ever Champions League final after losing the 2020 edition against Hansi Flick’s Bayern Munich.
“It’s been one of my goals since I joined the club: to offer our fans an attractive playing philosophy. Our way of playing must make the fans proud, with special values. Ousmane Dembele will be available for the game. He trained with us two days in a row”, Luis Enrique said.

Arch Manning and the 2026 NFL Draft QB Class Better Be Ready to Save the League
Now that the dust has settled on the 2025 NFL Draft, some folks have already turned the page to the 2026 class.After former Miami quarterback Cam Ward was selected No. 1 overall by the Tennessee Titans, we didn’t see another quarterback come off the board until the New York Giants traded back in for Jaxson Dart out of Ole Miss with the No. 25 overall pick. After that, quarterbacks were few and far between, as teams opted for project guys like Tyler Shough and Jalen Milroe before Shedeur Sanders was drafted by the Cleveland Browns in the fifth round. It seems like this sets up the 2026 NFL Draft to be quarterback-needy. If Texas’ Arch Manning has a good year, he’ll instantly become the hottest name to watch. But LSU’s Garrett Nussmeier has a lot of hype, as does Penn […]
What were Arsenal the best at in the Champions League?
Mikel Arteta has been engaging in some mental gymnastics this week.Before Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final second leg against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday, Arteta had his tongue firmly in his cheek when suggesting his side should have two domestic titles to show for their efforts in recent seasons.Advertisement“Winning trophies is about being in the right moment in the right place,” Arteta told reporters.“Liverpool have won the title with fewer points than we have in the last two seasons.
