The first legs of the Champions League semi-finals were played this week, with PSG edging past Arsenal 1-0 in one of the standout matchups. One Parisian standout, Vitinha, continues to shine with remarkable numbers.
Stat highlight: According to Opta, Vitinha has completed 1,191 passes in this season’s Champions League—just nine short of the all-time single-season record held by Xavi, who registered 1,200 passes during the 2003/04 campaign.
The second leg is set for Wednesday, May 7, at Parc des Princes, with kickoff at 21:00 Central European Time.
On the injury front, PSG are sweating over the fitness of Ousmane Dembélé. The winger missed recent training sessions after suffering a thigh muscle strain in the first leg, which forced him off the pitch. While the club’s medical staff is working hard to get him ready, his availability for the return fixture remains uncertain.
