Hello and welcome to the game podcast from The Times.

Mikhail Artaeta says Arsenal need to do something special in Paris next week if his team are to reach the Champions League final.

Usman Dembelli's early strikes stunned the Emirates and gives Paris-Sangerman a narrow advantage heading into next week's second leg.

And we were treated to a classic in the other semi-final

as Barcelona and Inter Milan shared six goals

and Lamin Yamal dazzled.

We'll be analysing all the action and debating how special

the Barcelona Wonder Kid could become.

I'm Gregor Robertson and with me today

are the chief correspondent for the Times and Sunday

Times Martin Samuel and the sports data journalist of the year Hamza Khalik Loonat.

Guys, welcome. Thank you. Martin, one place to start at the Emirates. You were there.

First of all, just give us a bit of an overview of there's been a bit of criticism of the the atmosphere

it seems maybe there's an unfair place to start it's been part of the kind of fallout of the game

yeah i don't understand that i don't know i thought i thought the atmosphere was um was fine was good

if anything it was a little bit too frenetta, it was a little bit too emotional almost,

you know, all of this, oh, you gotta get me on, get me on, get it created this sort of,

very intense atmosphere, which was then pricked by PSG scoring after three minutes, three, four minutes.

But I didn't think, you know, I understand that on the television people were saying it was a, it was a poor atmosphere and the Arsenal fans were quiet or whatever.

It certainly weren't quiet around us.

Well, what were we in the stadium?

They didn't seem very quiet.
