Arteta Urges Arsenal Fans to Roar Gunners to Champions League Semi-Final Victory over PSG
In the highly anticipated UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg taking place on Tuesday at the Emirates Stadium (20:00 BST), Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has called on fans to create a memorable atmosphere as they face Paris St-Germain. The Gunners, who secured a 5-1 aggregate victory over Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, aim to make history, having never won the Champions League. Despite injury setbacks, including those to Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Ben White, Arsenal have impressed in Europe, winning six of their eight league-phase games and beating PSV Eindhoven 9-3 in the last 16. Arteta has emphasized the importance of the Emirates Stadium in driving the team forward, as they look to secure their spot against the French side, who defeated Arsenal 2-0 in the league phase in October.
PSG, who are also seeking their first Champions League title, have shown progress since their loss to Arsenal, according to manager Luis Enrique. The Ligue 1 champions have overcome Liverpool and Aston Villa in the knockout stages and are now aiming to write their own page in history. Enrique believes that both teams are built on collective strength, with neither relying on individual players.
