PSG mind on Arsenal return as French clubs scrap for CL places

PSG are in a strong position to make it through to the second Champions League final in their history after Ousmane Dembele’s early goal gave them a I-O win away to Arsenal in the first leg of their last-four tie

- 

Paris Saint-Germain must go to Strasbourg this weekend, in between the two legs of their Champions League semi-final against Arsenal, for a clash with one of a host of sides scrapping to qualify from Ligue I for Europe's elite club competition next season.

PSG are in a strong position to make it through to the second Champions League final in their history after Ousmane Dembele's early goal gave them a 1-0 win away to Arsenal in the first leg of their last-four tie on Tuesday.

The return leg will take place in Paris next Wednesday, and Luis Enrique's side risk having to do without their leading marksman Dembele after he came off in the second half in London.

"It is a minor thing but there is a doubt for the return match," Luis Enrique said following the first leg.

In the meantime the former Barcelona winger seems certain to play no part for PSG in Strasbourg, who will be hoping to capitalise and pick up precious points as they scrap for a place in the Champions League themselves.
