Mbappe wins overtime! Paris 3-2 Arsenal, Arteta covers the sidelines

1. Preface: When the showdown of fate encounters miracle script

At 3 a.m. on May 8, the grass at the Princes of Paris stadium was glowing in the spotlight. This temple that carries Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League dream is now performing the most exciting script in football – Paris Saint-Germain, which was leading 1-0 in the first leg, was completely ignited by Mbappe’s final kill in the 113th minute. This classic 3-2 showdown made the charm of football bloom in suspense and reversal, and also allowed the whole world to witness the steel will of the Nerazzurri.

2. Text: 120 minutes of heartbeat roller coaster

1. Blitz: In the 21st minute of Paris's fatal counterattack game, Dembele was intercepted by Saliba while holding the ball on the right, Kvaratshelia rushed forward on the left and passed across, Mbappe cleverly broke the deadlock. The goal was like a thunderclap, revealing a fatal loophole in Arsenal's high-level defense. 42 minutes later, Mbappe made a penalty, Soler scored a shot, and Paris entered the locker room with a 2-0 advantage. Arsenal may not have thought that this seemingly one-sided contest would soon be a shocking reversal.

2. Arsenal counterattack: The bloody romance of the youth storm suddenly changed in the second half, and Trosad, who came on as the substitute, became the "key gentleman". In the 54th minute, he assisted Saka in the left cross to score; in the 60th minute, he sent another wonderful pass, and Martinelli headed the ball to equalize the score. In the 87th minute, Odegao scored a supplemental shot and Arsenal overtook 3-2! The 17-year-old Saka broke through like a snake on the right, tearing the Paris defense with speed and skills, but missed the chance to kill at the last moment.

3. Miracle of stoppage time: The 37-year-old veteran's redemption injury time in the 3rd minute, Kvaratshelia made a cross from the right, and the 37-year-old Marquinios beat Saliba to score a header! This veteran, who is nicknamed one of the "Two Elders of Xuanming", uses his first Champions League goal in his career to explain what "the veteran is immortal" means. The goal in stoppage time made Princes Park Stadium boil and also made the game enter overtime.

4. Overtime win: The substitute surprise's fatal blow In the 113th minute of overtime, Turam broke through on the right and passed back in the triangle. Taremi made a clever leak, and Mbappe kept shooting directly at the far corner from the front of the penalty area. The ball drew a wonderful arc and drilled into the net. The midfielder, known as the "super substitute" by fans, declared Paris' victory with a final victory.

3. In-depth analysis: Tactical game and spiritual core

Paris's efficient philosophy Enrique's 4231 formation interprets the defensive counterattack to the extreme. He had a ball possession rate of only 35%, but he scored 3 goals through 8 shots, with a counterattack efficiency of up to 37.5%. Kvaratshelia and Dembele's wings flew together, like two sharp blades, constantly cutting Arsenal's defense.

2. Although Arsenal's sweet trap Arteta's 433 formation has a ball possession rate of up to 65%, the tactics that rely too much on crosses on the wing were targeted by Paris. Gabriel and Fu'an Jianyang's injuries made the right side vacuum, and 37-year-old Marginhos built a wall of iron with experience and consciousness.

3. Veterans' spiritual totem Marginhos, Navas and other veterans still maintain high-intensity running in overtime. Paris, with an average age of 28.6, showed a stronger fighting spirit than Arsenal. Navas' five saves, especially the overtime blockade against Saka, can be called "goal god possessed".

4. Conclusion: The most beautiful appearance of football

There are no losers in this game. Arsenal wrote his passion with the storm of youth, and Paris interpreted persistence with steel will. When Marquinios headed the ball in stoppage time and when Mbappe completed his final victory in overtime, what we saw was not only the change of scores, but also the inheritance of football spirit. This is the Champions League, this is the most beautiful thing about football - always believe in miracles and always burst into tears.
