Paris Saint-Germain won the first leg of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal (0-1) on Tuesday evening at the Emirates Stadium. This result puts the Parisian club in an advantageous position before the return match scheduled at the Parc des Princes.
The only goal of the match was scored early in the game by Ousmane Dembélé, capitalizing on a successful start for PSG.

The Parisians failed to convert two other clear chances that could have allowed them to double their lead and take a more substantial advantage.
After the match, the Moroccan spoke on Canal Plus Foot, giving his analysis of the game and perspectives for the future, emphasizing the team’s room for improvement and the need for additional effort for qualification: "Will we need to make more efforts to maintain the result? Yes. Each match, we want to do better, each match, we want to improve things. We are happy with what we did today." His goal, and that of the team, is clear: "We will want to finish the job in Paris."
Regarding Ousmane Dembélé, the scorer of the evening, Achraf Hakimi provided information on his condition: "I spoke a little with him, he was calm. He said he was fine. I hope he will be with us for the next match. He did his job, he scored. He let us finish."
