Arsenal travel to Paris, where they only have a chance to reach their second Champions League final, with a magical touch at Parc des Princes. &nbsp,

The Gunners must deliver something spectacular against PSG in the high-stakes UEFA Champions League semi-final match against PSG, who lost 1-0 after the first leg in London. The opening goal by Ousmane Dembele sealed PSG’s crucial victory at the Emirates with a 1-0 victory. &nbsp,

After previously falling twice and drawing three times against the North London giants, PSG won their first-ever meeting against the Gunners. &nbsp,

Mikel Arteta’s men would aim to be happier in France when they return to England in 2006. In its first Champions League appearance to date, Arsenal lost to Barcelona in Paris that year. &nbsp,

The Premier League giants, who have never overturned a first-leg deficit in five attempts, are a herculean target. &nbsp,

Although Arsenal is not in the history books, Coach Arteta thinks his team can “do something special” in Paris and land a final meeting with Inter Milan, which they lost to in the same city 19 years ago. &nbsp,

Arsenal are in poor form going into Wednesday’s game. The last three games, which ended in defeat, have been lost. The North London side lost to Bournemouth 2-1 on Saturday after taking the lead, and they now face a risk of dropping below second in the league, a position they have maintained for two previous campaigns. &nbsp,

PSG, one of their foes, has a similar tale. The Parisians have already won another domestic title before the defeats, despite the French champions having lost their previous two league games. In the Ligue 1 defeat at home to Strasbourg over the weekend, Coach Luis Enrique fielded a second-string team. &nbsp,

Enrique wants an even better performance for PSG than they did with the first leg victory in London despite having an advantage in the first leg. He is aware of the quality of opposition that the Gunners bring. &nbsp,

Because our opponents don’t produce a favorable outcome, we are bound to suffer. To win the return leg and maintain our ideas, we must match our performance in the first leg as closely as possible, he said prior to the game. &nbsp,

Due to a hamstring issue, Dembele was unable to play in London. Enrique confirmed that he is healthy and ready, which is a significant improvement for PSG, who are expected to keep the same lineup as they did in the first leg. &nbsp,

Arsenal Team News

In addition to long-term absentees, Arsenal has suffered significant injury setbacks this season, in contrast to PSG. Important midfielder Thomas Partey was unavailable last week against the French giants. Partey, who was sidelined for the first game, returns on Wednesday and is expected to play a significant role in Arsenal’s history-making endeavors. Jurrien Timber, the defending champion, is expected to play, despite missing Saturday’s defeat to Bournemouth. Riccardo Calafiori, an Italian, should be able to be chosen for the team. &nbsp,
