Arsenal may need a miracle in Paris tonight, but if they produce one, the signs are in their favor.
Mikel Arteta tries to lead the Gunners to a very first European crown, and the North Londoners are in their hands with a stiff job while traveling to the French capital.
They start a goal in the Parc des Princes on Wednesday after a 1-0 home defeat last week.
The early strike of Ousmane Dembele proved the difference.
Arteta's side does not come in the best form in this huge competition, after he went to a 2-1 loss to Bournemouth last weekend, while Dean Huijsen and Evanilson gained a crucial victory for the cherries.
However, if Arsenal has to do unlikely under the Paris Night Sky, the history books have read that this could be their year.
There are four signs that indicate that it is a successful end to the campaign for them.
New winner every time in Munich
Every time the final is organized in the Bavarian capital, there is always a new winner of the European Elite competition.
The third largest city in Germany played the last four times host.
The first was in the Olympiastadion, where Nottingham Forest Malmo defeated famous in 1979, and the second was in 1993, when Marseille Ac Milan conquered.
Roberto di Matteo's Blues won a dramatic shootout, with Didier Drogba the hero that night.
That is why the signs also suggest that when the European cup final is held in Munich and the English parties are involved, they win.
Strong on their journeys
The side of Arteta is unbeaten in all their last four road races on the continent.
In the past, the Gunners Real Madrid beat 2-1 in an exciting comeback in the Bernabeu, and before that they hit PSV 7-1 in the last 16.
In the competition phase they walked past Girona and broke Sporting Lisbon.
They have never won five on the spider on the road in Europe, but Arteta will claim that this still creates a chance for his players to write history.
PSG has lost all their Champions League Semi-Final Home legs
The French side may have a home advantage, but that is perhaps not a good thing in view of their history in the last four in the Parc des Princes.
They were beaten 1-0 by Borussia Dortmund in last year's semi in Paris and 2-1 by Manchester City in 2020/21.
They were defeated by AC Milan in their first semifinal appearance in 1995.
It must also be reminded that the Ligue 1 champions have never lifted the Champions League trophy.
This is also new territory for them.
Every year the pope died, an English team has won the Champions League
Say it calmly, but the tragic death of Pope Francis this year could be another sign that Arsenal could win.
When Pope John Paul died in 1978, Nottingham Forest won the main prize of Europe.
When Pope John Paul II passed in 2005, Liverpool remarkably won the trophy of the jaws of the defeat against AC Milan, and when Pope Benedict XVI died on New Year's Eve 2022, Manchester City won a first European title in May.
Could this be a sign for Arsenal?
