Undefeated against PSG, Arsenal ready to challenge

Arsenal won 2 and drew 3 when facing PSG in the continental cup.

Arsenal began their encounter with PSG in the semi-finals of the 1993/94 European Cup Winners' Cup. In the first leg in France, Ian Wright gave Arsenal the lead, before the match ended in a 1-1 draw.

In the second leg, the Gunners played tightly, defending their 1-0 victory thanks to Kevin Campbell's goal, paving the way to the first European championship in the club's history.

The fate between Arsenal and PSG continued in the 2016/17 Champions League group stage. Both times Arsenal met, they avoided defeat. They drew 1-1 in Paris despite being behind early, and shared the points 2-2 at the Emirates. PSG thought they had the upper hand thanks to the away goals rule, but unexpectedly stumbled against Ludogorets, handing the top spot to Arsenal.

Most recently, the Gunners continued to show their mettle when they met PSG in the Champions League qualifying round this season in October last year. At home, Mikel Arteta's team won convincingly 2-0. After many years, Arsenal knows how to play pragmatically, protecting their advantage instead of focusing on attacking.

However, PSG have transformed strongly since losing to Arsenal. They eliminated Liverpool and Aston Villa to reach the round of 4 strongest teams in Europe. Therefore, the upcoming semi-final will be a real test of Arsenal's mettle and ambition.

Notably, the Gunners have five precious days off before facing PSG at home at Emirates Stadium. This season, Arsenal have been out of breath in the Premier League but have played well in the Champions League. The proof is that they defeated Real Madrid 5-1 in the quarter-finals.
