Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager, Luis Enrique, has praised goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma for his crucial saves in their Champions League semi-final first-leg match against Arsenal. PSG secured a 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium, with Ousmane Dembele scoring the decisive goal in the first half. Enrique emphasized Donnarumma's role in saving the team and highlighted the collective effort required in such high-stakes matches.

Enrique noted the intense emotions during the game but commended his team for their performance. He felt they could have extended their lead with a second goal. He emphasized that PSG demonstrated their team identity by playing their style and scoring early.

Meanwhile, PSG defender Achraf Hakimi lauded the contributions of Ousmane Dembele, Gonzalo Ramos, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Desire Doue. Hakimi stated that these attackers empower the wing-backs by running and pressing like defenders, contributing to the team's overall strength. He highlighted the coach's philosophy of all 11 players attacking and defending.

Looking ahead, PSG is set to play Arsenal in the return leg in Paris next Wednesday. Before that, they will face Strasbourg in Ligue 1. Arsenal, on the other hand, will play Bournemouth in the Premier League this weekend.
