Arsenal-PSG: Spanish challenge on the bench and Mbappé is a spectator
Today, at 9 p.m., Arsenal–PSG takes the stage at the’Emirates Stadium, that is the first act of the Champions League semifinals (on the’other side in play Barcelona and Inter). For both it’s a chance to win the final and try to fulfill the big dream: winning the Champions League, a trophy not yet present in the rich coffers of both clubs.
Many reasons for interest, especially the all-Spanish challenge on the bench. On one side Arteta, one of the coaches closest to Guardiola’s philosophy. On the other Luis Enrique, who played there with Guardiola and who claims his style of soccer, highlighting how he is completely original in his tactical and technical proposals.
Arsenal and PSG have already faced each other in the regular season, with the Gunners winning 2-0. Luis Enrique is focused only on the present and the possibility of going all the way: “The goal is difficult to achieve. This pressure does not oppress us, though; I would say we are ambitious. When we say we make history, we are talking about doing something that no one has ever done before us” the words of the Parisians’coach before the match.
A match that will be of interest particularly to Mbappé. The Real Madrid star left Paris specifically to win the Champions League but the Blancos are already out of the tournament while his former team is in the running to take home the trophy.
