Paris Saint-Germain has reached its second consecutive Champions League final. On May 30, the Parisians face Arsenal in Budapest, a club competing in this stage for the first time in 20 years.
PSG, meanwhile, is aiming for something historically unprecedented: to become only the second club in the UCL era to defend its title after Real Madrid’s triumphant three-year run from 2016 to 2018.
From mid-table back to the top
PSG’s season started without its usual glitz: 11th place in the league phase, followed by a drawn-out clash with AS Monaco at the start of the knockout phase. But then, Luis Enrique’s side seemed to shift gears. Chelsea was routed 8-2 on aggregate, while Liverpool was thrashed 4-0. And finally, Bayern – in a match that won over neutral fans.
The first leg of the semifinal ended 5-4 in favor of the Parisians and was immediately hailed as the best game of the season.
Luis Enrique himself called it the best game of his coaching career, and the numbers back it up: PSG scored all five of their shots on target. A level of efficiency most teams can’t match.
In the return leg, PSG managed the game pragmatically in Munich and advanced, showing tactical flexibility and winning 6-5 on aggregate. Ousmane Dembélé’s goal at 2:19 was the third-fastest in the UCL semifinal history and effectively sealed the tie.
