In the early morning of April 30, the focus of the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals kicked off at the Emirates Stadium, and Arsenal faced Paris. Just 4 minutes into the game, Arsenal conceded the goal, which was also the only goal in the whole game. In the end, Arsenal lost 0-1 at home and almost missed the final early. Before the game, the outside world is more optimistic about Arsenal's victory at home. After all, since Arteta took office, he has led Arsenal to win 9 wins and 2 draws in 11 home games in the Champions League, and has never lost. After the game started, both sides immediately started the attack rhythm of opening and closing, and the scene was very beautiful. In the 4th minute, Paris attacked on the left side of the frontcourt, Kvaratschlia broke into the penalty area, and then made a cross from the backward triangle to find Dembele. The latter kept stopping the ball and shot directly. The ball hit the far post, and the goalkeeper had no choice. Arsenal fell behind 0-1. Paris coach Enrique on the sidelines celebrated wildly. Next, Arsenal, who was behind in the score, made several attacks, but they did not have much advantage in the field. In the 50th minute, Arsenal took a set piece in the frontcourt, Rice made a cross and Merino headed the ball. The entire Emirates Stadium was in a boil, but the referee then declared the goal invalid because Merino was offside. In the game, Arsenal had two single shots, but their two shots were saved by Donnarumma. In the 85th minute, Arsenal almost conceded another goal, and Gonzalo Ramsey shot from the penalty area and hit the crossbar. In the end, Arsenal lost 0-1 at home. Statistics show that Arsenal has a ball possession rate of 48%, and 10 shots, which are not as good as Paris (52% ball possession rate, 11 shots). In the second leg, Arsenal will go to challenge Paris away, and the scene will probably be more passive. This game is the first time Arsenal lost to Paris in the Champions League (previously 3 wins and 2 draws). At the same time, the Gunners' record of 8 unbeaten in the Champions League was also ended. 2 Big data shows that Arsenal has been sentenced to death with 99.9% of Paris will enter the finals: 1. In the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage, Arsenal has never advanced to the next round (5 times). 2. Paris won away in the first leg of the European knockout stage in 18 previous European games, and entered the next round 17 times.
