On April 30th Beijing time, according to the British media METRO, Arsenal legend Henry, in an interview, talked about the semi-final of the Champions League between Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain, and believed that the Gunners still had a chance to stage a comeback in the second leg.


In the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, Arsenal lost 0-1 at home to Paris Saint-Germain, with Dembele scoring the only goal of the game. The second leg of the match will be held at the PARC des Princes in Paris on May 7th. Arsenal need to stage a comeback away from home to advance to the final.
Henry said in an interview, "There is still one more game. Anything is possible." Paris played better in this game. If Arsenal wants to win in Paris, they must make a lot of adjustments. But I noticed that after Dembele was substituted, Paris' pressure dropped and Arsenal also found it easier to push forward. So, the opportunity still exists. The key lies in the execution of the second round.
Data shows that this match was the first time since the 2016 Champions League home game against Barcelona that Arsenal failed to score at home in the Champions League. Throughout the entire match, Arsenal missed many good chances, with the number of opportunities they conceded being even higher in the League Cup game against Newcastle this season.
After the match, head coach Arteta expressed his confidence in advancing at the press conference: "I'm not sure exactly what the odds are, but I believe we have a great chance of reaching the final." The key lies in whether the team can play a high-level game in Paris. We must seize such an opportunity.
In addition, Arsenal player Merino also showed a positive attitude: "We can't wait to go to Paris for the second leg." We know our own strength and believe that we can win the game. Everyone is optimistic. This is just the beginning. We have proved that we can compete against any strong team.
The second leg of Arsenal's encounter with Paris Saint-Germain is about to kick off in Paris. Whether the Gunners can stage a comeback away from home is worth watching.
