Achraf Hakimi warns Arsenal over ‘new PSG’ as semi-final tactical plan revealed This is a different PSG from years past

Achraf Hakimi says the “new Paris Saint-Germain” is all the better for having done away with star power, as he warned Arsenal his team will not sit on their lead in Wednesday night’s Champions League semi-final.

 

Both sides are 90 minutes away from only their second ever final in the competition, but it is the Parisians who hold a 1-0 advantage from last week’s first leg in London.

 

Luis Enrique’s side can also call on an experience edge, having reached this same stage last season, though they were stunned by Borussia Dortmund, who went on to lose to Real Madrid in the Wembley showpiece.

 

In what seemed at the time to be another blow, PSG then lost talisman Kylian Mbappe to Madrid on a free transfer.

 

However, the Frenchman’s departure marked the end of an era in which marquee signings like Mbappe, Neymar and Lionel Messi dominated the narrative in Paris but ultimately failed to deliver Europe’s biggest prize.

 

A fresh, young squad has instead kicked on under Enrique this term, spearheaded by the likes of Desire Doue, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and a much-improved Ousmane Dembele, who has been passed fit to play after a hamstring issue.
