PSG-Arsenal: Paris, celebrating and in the final, is close to its dream of winning the Champions League

Luis Enrique, his staff and his players, overjoyed, jumping into each other's arms and raising their victorious fists, during their lap of honour; a Parc des Princes crowd in ecstasy and in communion with their team, with fireworks to complete this festive evening: Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) continued its European adventure with a victory (2-1) against Arsenal on its home turf (3-1 on aggregate after the 1-0 success in the first leg ), in the second leg of the Champions League (C1) semi-final.

This victory opens the door to the final of the most prestigious club competition, on May 31, in Munich, against Inter Milan.
