The clash between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayern Munich not only kept its promises, but shattered the wildest dreams. Presented as a final before its time, this duel between the two most impressive teams in Europe transformed into an instant monument of the Champions League. Nine goals, unstoppable intensity, sequences of play of rare technical purity and this permanent feeling that everything could change with each action. The Parc des Princes witnessed a form of collective intoxication, a match which escapes the usual frameworks to enter an almost artistic dimension. As the English press writes, we have seen \u201cfootball as a form of expression\u201d<\/em>a meeting where \u201crisk and reward\u201d<\/em> mingle in a total takeover of attack over defense.<\/p>\n This feeling is shared across the continent. In Spain, we are already talking about\u201can epic battle\u201d<\/em> and\u201can anthology match\u201d<\/em> marked by \u201cnine goals in 70 minutes\u201d<\/em>when others mention \u201ca new show this season\u2026 or even for a long time\u201d<\/em>. The idea of \u200b\u200ban early final comes back like a mantra. In England, the tone is even more colorful. The match is described as \u201ca magnificent, absurd and unbridled anarchy\u201d<\/em>to the point of comparing the attempt to do better to \u201ctwo colliding atoms trying to eclipse the Big Bang\u201d<\/em>. The same conclusion is evident everywhere. This PSG-Bayern goes beyond the simple framework of a semi-final to be part of a broader story, that of European evenings which redefine standards and leave observers almost stunned.<\/p>\n In this context, the English press review oscillates between fascination and concern a few hours before the semi-final between Arsenal and Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid. The message is clear in several tabloids. \u201cGood luck to Atl\u00e9tico Madrid and Arsenal to surpass this grandiose spectacle\u201d<\/em> launch it Daily Mail<\/em>when others already mention \u201cthe match of the century\u201d<\/em> or \u201cone of the greatest European matches of all time\u201d<\/em>. The Mirror<\/em> goes further by explaining that this meeting is \u201cperhaps the best match the competition has ever known\u201d<\/em> and that it serves as \u201creminder for Arsenal and Atl\u00e9tico\u201d<\/em> about the challenge that awaits them. Same tone on the side Sun<\/em>who already imagines \u201ctwo terrified coaches, Mikel Arteta and Diego Simeone, watching from their sofas\u201d<\/em>. Behind the emphasis, a reality is emerging. The winner of this other semi-final knows that he will have to reach an almost unreal level to hope to compete in the final in Budapest.<\/p>\n In Spain, the press adopts a similar mix of admiration and caution. Mark<\/em> sums up the situation perfectly by talking about a PSG which \u201cwins the first set of what promises to be a final\u201d<\/em>while recalling that \u201cthe Allianz Arena will be decisive\u201d<\/em> and that\u201cit is difficult to imagine that the champion will not come out of this confrontation\u201d<\/em>. On the side of AS<\/em>we insist on \u201ca masterful offensive display from the two best teams in Europe\u201d<\/em> and on a match \u201cwhich will be remembered for decades\u201d<\/em>. Finally, Sports World<\/em> evoked \u201ca memorable spectacle\u201d<\/em> between \u201ctwo titans launched into attack\u201d<\/em>while emphasizing that \u201cvoting the finalist turns out to be complicated\u201d<\/em>. An observation shared throughout the peninsula. Yes, PSG and Bayern impress and worry. But this madness also recalls an essential truth. At this level, in a match, everything can still change.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \n Pub. the Poor Gunners and Colchoneros<\/h3>\n
