Gyeonggi Province is losing, manners are also losing.

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) won 1-0 against Arsenal in the first leg of the semifinals of the 2024-2025 Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League (UCL) held at the Emirates Stadium in London, England, on April 30th (Korean time). They gained an advantageous position to reach the final.

PSG took the lead just 4 minutes into the match. A cut-back pass from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who broke through the left flank, was finished with a left-footed shot by Ousmane Dembélé, shaking the net. The ball, which bounced among defenders, hit the goalpost and was sucked into the net.

After conceding a goal at home early in the match, Arsenal quickly scrambled into action. They launched an attack from the right, centered around Bukayo Saka. However, their attacks were repeatedly thwarted by the PSG defense. PSG aimed for an additional goal. In the 30th minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from Dembélé on the right, Warren Zaire-Emery penetrated into the center and attempted a right-footed shot. The powerful shot aimed at the corner of the goal did not get past goalkeeper David Raya.

PSG finished the first half leading 1-0 after maintaining Dembélé's opening goal. Arsenal missed a crucial opportunity. In the 2nd minute of the second half, a free kick by Declan Rice was headed in by Mikel Merino, seemingly leveling the score. However, an offside was called. The goal was not recognized. In the 10th minute of the second half, an outstanding through ball received by Leandro Trossard from behind allowed him to shoot low and fast from the left flank toward the opposite goal. The ball, which brushed the fingertips of the goalkeeper, narrowly missed the goal.

PSG made a substitution, bringing in Bradley Barcola for Dembélé. In the 29th minute of the second half, PSG sent a chill down Arsenal's spine. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia launched a right-footed shot from a distance during a quick counterattack. However, the ball cut through the air. In the 31st minute of the second half, PSG replaced Marco Verratti with Gonçalo Hamus.

PSG continued their attacks, taking advantage of Arsenal's passing errors. In the 32nd minute of the second half, Rúben Neves connected a bullet-like shot from just outside the penalty arc following a short pass from the right. This shot sailed over the goal by the width of a fist. Arsenal substituted Jurrien Timber for Ben White in the 38th minute of the second half.

In the 39th minute of the second half, PSG hit the ground. Barcola, who had not scored in the last 10 matches, broke through the Arsenal center-back and had a nearly one-on-one chance with the goalkeeper. Deceiving the goalkeeper, he attempted a quick shot aimed at the left side of the goal. However, the ball narrowly went past the goal.

In the 41st minute of the second half, Arsenal earned a free kick in the PSG defensive area. Rice took the kick and attempted a shot from a difficult angle deep on the left side. However, it was blocked by the defensive wall. In the 44th minute of the second half, PSG substituted Neves for Warren Zaire-Emery. Surviving 5 minutes of additional time, PSG secured a valuable victory away from home.

Regardless of the match result, Arsenal fans caused controversy with their subpar behavior. French media 'RMC' reported, "After PSG's victory, Arsenal fans protested in front of the PSG away bus, making monkey sounds as PSG's black players passed by," stating, "This is a typical gesture of racism that occurred every time PSG's black players went by."

In a video shot and released by PSG, five men were seen imitating monkeys in front of the PSG bus, making sounds, beating their chests, and scratching their armpits as PSG's black players passed by. RMC noted, "Although this mockery from Arsenal supporters did not last long, PSG plans to submit the footage as evidence. "
