WE CAN COME BACK: ARTETA

But Spaniard admits Arsenal need epic display to overcome PSG to reach final

- 

LONDON - Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to produce a "special" fightback against Paris Saint-Germain, after Ousmane Dembele fired the French side to a 1-0 win in the Champions League semi-final, first leg on April 29.

The forward struck early in the fourth minute at the Emirates Stadium and the Gunners were unable to haul themselves level in a tense clash featuring key misses from both teams.

PSG wasted two golden opportunities to take firm control of the tie in the closing stages, as striker Goncalo Ramos hit the bar and forward Bradley Barcola shot wide from close range.

Arsenal also had their moments after a slow start, with PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma making two superb saves to deny forwards Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard.

In contrast to the previous two rounds, when Arsenal established substantial first-leg leads en route to knocking out PSV Eindhoven and Real Madrid, Arteta's men will have to do it the hard way this time.
