Champions League Preview | Paris 0-2 Arsenal: The Gunners have two good offensive players, Dembele can compete for the Golden Ball

The No. 1 star finally left after seven years of fighting for the Golden Globe Awards. However, if you join a one-year franchise, you may not even be considered a No. 2 star, but you have more hope of winning the Golden Globe Awards. Isn't it very magical? But it is reality.

This season, Mbappe was eliminated in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, finished second in the Cup of del Rey, and there is little hope for the La Liga championship, so there is no capital to compete for the Golden Globe Award.

If Paris Saint-Germain wins the triple crown this season, then Dembele is obviously likely to win the Golden Globe. Barcelona has been eliminated by Inter Milan in the Champions League semi-finals. Rafinia and Yamal are going to compete for the Golden Ball Award. Obviously, they can't compete for the players who will eventually win the Champions League championship, and Dembele will have no opponent.

Since joining in the summer of 2017, Dembele has been unable to make a fortune in Barcelona, ​​and has been injured for a long time and has become a glass man. In the 2022-23 season, Dembele played 35 games for Barcelona in various competitions, starting 25 times, contributing 8 goals and 9 assists. At the end of the season, Barcelona sold Dembele to Paris, with a transfer fee of 50 million euros, a huge loss, but it is already very generous to Paris to pay so much.

In the 2023-24 season, Dembele played 42 games for Paris, started 33 times, and contributed 6 goals and 12 assists. The Glass Man is no longer a man, but his contribution on the offensive end is not as good as that of Barcelona.

No matter how the coach is adjusted, it is easy for Paris Saint-Germain to win the Ligue 1 and French Cup championships. They have always wanted to win the Champions League, but they have never done it. Enrique pushed Dembele to the center position, and the effect was immediate. In Ligue 1, Dembele won the Golden Boot. In the Champions League, the 1/8 final, he ranked first in the league in the away game in the second leg. Liverpool, who is regarded as the favorite to compete for the championship, has made great contributions. The total score of Aston Villa was eliminated 5:4 in the quarter-finals, and Dembele contributed 2 assists. In the first leg of the semi-finals, Paris Saint-Germain beat Arsenal, who had previously double-killed Real Madrid 1-0 away, and Dembele scored the only goal.

Arsenal, who lost to Manchester City in the second place for two consecutive seasons, lost to Liverpool this season. If he can win the Champions League, it will also create history. The first leg lost 0:1 at home, and the second leg was away, and there was no chance.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal

Nature of the match: Second leg of the Champions League semi-finals

Match time: May 8 3:00

Today's Paris Saint-Germain has won the championship ahead of schedule, and the schedule is relatively easy. Ligue 1 is basically a substitute, and the staff is currently intact.

Arsenal, there are also many injured people such as Jesus and Havertz, and the loss of personnel on both offense and defense is relatively serious.

Arsenal currently does not have a healthy regular center. The regular center Jesus and Havertz, who plays a guest center, have been reimbursed for the season. Merino, who plays a guest center recently, is suspected of playing. If he can play, he may become a key player on the offensive end.

Scoring set pieces is an important scoring method for Arsenal. It was clearly reflected in the double defeat of Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This time, if Rice can play like Real Madrid before, there is still hope for Arsenal to make a comeback.

Paris Saint-Germain has won 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in the last 10 games.

Arsenal has won 5 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 games in all competitions.

The two sides had faced each other six times before, with Paris at a disadvantage in 1 win, 2 draw and 3 losses.

In this game, we can be optimistic about Arsenal's victory, but in the end, both sides may have to go through overtime or even penalty shootouts to decide who will advance to the finals.
