Paris Saint-Germain supporters will walk a little taller and a little prouder the rest of the month following the club's incredible performance against Arsenal FC at the Parc des Princes.
On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Marc Damon and Greyson Lee to break down PSG's 2-1 win over Arsenal on Wednesday night. The 3-1 aggregate win puts PSG in the Champions League final, where they will face Inter Milan in Munich on May 31.
Up first, we discuss Luis Enrique's decision to start Bradley Barcola over Ousmane Dembélé, who is still recovering from a muscle injury. We examine Barcola's performance and highlight Dembélé's contributions late in the match.
Next, we talk about the early onslaught from Arsenal and how Gianluigi Donnarumma made save after save to keep PSG in the match. We discuss Donnarumma's Champions League performances and his incredible saves against the Gunners.
Fabian Ruiz scored for PSG in the first half, and we discuss how vital he is to the squad. From Manuel Ugarte to Idrissa Gueye, PSG has looked for a midfielder like Ruiz for years, and finally, they have a dependable, consistent player who can show up when the lights are brightest.
In the second half, PSG was awarded a penalty after Achraf Hakimi's shot hit Myles Lewis-Skelly in the hand. We discuss whether the right decision was made and potential theories as to why Vitinha's penalty was so poor.
We wrap up the show with a discussion about Marquinhos, his performance tonight, and his future. We also give our final thoughts on what the win and appearance in the Champions League means for us as fans.
