Arsenal must overturn a one-goal deficit during their Champions League semifinal second leg with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday evening to reach their first final in the competition since 2006.
Ousmane Dembélé's pinpoint strike early in the first leg separates the sides ahead of the return fixture in Paris, with Arsenal needing to make drastic improvements following a tame showing last week. They enter the clash in uncertain form, however, suffering a surprise home defeat to Bournemouth at the weekend that extends their winless run to three games.
Mikel Arteta passed up the opportunity to rest and rotate during the collapse against the Cherries, but Luis Enrique did make wholesale changes on Saturday. That's why the Ligue 1 champions suffered a second successive domestic defeat, losing 2–1 to Strasbourg on their travels.
PSG know they must simply avoid defeat at Parc des Princes to secure their place in the showpiece fixture at the end of the month. They have been beaten three times on home soil this term, including top English opponents Liverpool in the last 16. Arsenal must conjure up some magic to follow suit.
Here is guide to the semifinal second leg.
