Eliminate Arsenal to advance, Paris Saint-Germain approaches historic triple-winning industry

In the early morning of May 8, 2025, Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals and successfully advanced to the final, only one step away from achieving the "triple-champion" feat.

With this victory, Paris Saint-Germain reached the Champions League final for the second time in history. They will face Inter Milan in the final. The team led by coach Luis Enrique has previously secured the Ligue 1 championship and will compete in the French Cup final on May 25, with the opponent of Reims.

This means that Paris is expected to become the first Ligue 1 club to win the triple crown (domestic league, domestic cup, UEFA Champions League). Previously, only 9 teams in European football achieved this achievement: Celtics, Ajax, Eindhoven, Manchester United, Barcelona (two times), Inter Milan, Bayern Munich (two times), and most recently Manchester City. It is worth mentioning that one of Barcelona's three-time championships was led by the current Paris coach Enrique.

has won the semi-finals of the Premier League in a row, and the road to promotion is very valuable

Paris's Champions League journey this season is particularly dazzling. They eliminated four Premier League powerhouses: defeating defending champion Manchester City in the group stage, Liverpool in the top 16, defeating Aston Villa in the quarterfinals, and then double-killing Arsenal in the semi-finals, showing strong combat effectiveness and stability.

The Champions League final this season will be held at 3 am on June 1 at Bayern Munich's home court, Allianz Stadium. Data shows that this stadium always seems to witness the new king ascend the throne: in the Champions League/European Champions League finals held here, no city team in the host city won the championship, and every time it was a new champion, including Nottingham Forest (1979), Marseille (1993), Dortmund (1997) and Chelsea (2012). This historical trend undoubtedly adds more confidence to Paris.

The legendary and his opponent praised

Former England international Irving Hargreaves commented:

"Luis Enrique is creating miracles. It is hard for me to imagine which team can complete such a complete transformation in such a short time. Today I would like to especially praise Donnarumma, whose performance is world-class, and Paris deserves to enter the finals."

Arsenal coach Arteta also expressed his recognition of Paris:

"Congratulations to Paris. Donnarumma is the best player in the two rounds, and he changed the trend of the game. I am proud of the performance of the disciples."
