PSG opponent in the semi-finals of the Champions League, Arsenal summons painful memories for the capital's club. He has never even beaten the Gunners in five confrontations, having to settle for two meager draws in five games.

The two clubs had notably faced each other in the semi-finals of the deceased champion club cup in 1994. And three weeks after eliminating Real Madrid for the second time in two years, PSG hoped to continue against the residents of Highbury.

Las, after having had to be satisfied with a draw at the Parc des Princes on the outward journey, the red and blue bit the dust on the return, surprised from the first minutes of the match by a head at the first post of Kevin Campbell. The men of Artur Jorge were going to push to equalize, multiplying the opportunities, they were too clumsy to deceive David Seaman and equalize. What leave immense regrets on the Parisian side.

Bernard Lama accuses Artur Jorge

“It's terrible. I still have trouble achieving. Our lack of efficiency is very expensive. It's a bitter feeling that lives me tonight “notably regrets Michel Denisot, the president of PSG at the end of the meeting.

And the regrets are all the greater since Artur Jorge decided for this return match to spend services from Georges Weah, his best attacker, preferring RaĂŻ, who nevertheless experiences a complicated acclimatization in Paris. The Brazilian will also miss two big opportunities on the Highbury lawn and the choice of the Portuguese technician will be castigated by Bernard Lama at the end of the meeting.

“To win, you have to score goals. They never endangered us, but all our attackers were on the sidelines … “, He says, particularly bitter. Despite the title of champion won at the end of the season, Artur Jorge will also be pushed outside, replaced by Luis Fernandez. It is an understatement to say that the Guyanese goalkeeper has a very mixed memory of the man with a mustache. “” He had been operated on from the brain. It was seen right away. He was out of time ”, He said in the columns of So Foot in the summer of 2016.
