Declan Rice says Arsenal need more "magic moments" if they do not want their Champions League dream to die against Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday.

Arsenal head to the Parc des Princes trailing 1-0 after last week's semi-final first leg in north London, and the odds are stacked against them reaching the final for the second time, having lost to Barcelona in the 2006 showpiece, also in Paris.

Rice has already provided two magic moments that will become part of Arsenal folklore during his side's run to the Champions League final four, scoring two stunning free-kicks in the 3-0 quarter-final first-leg victory at home over Real Madrid.

They went on to win that tie 5-1 on aggregate, but the pressure ratchets up another notch on Wednesday, and Rice says he, or one of his team-mates, will have to conjure up another unforgettable moment if Mikel Arteta's side are to prevail and reach the final in Munich. 

"I think the manager, he calls them magic moments. He always talks about them, someone delivering a magic moment," Rice told reporters on the eve of the game.

"In that game against Madrid, obviously, I was able to produce two free kicks, which were incredible.

"But for the semi-final itself, it's maybe someone who can get that magic moment. Hopefully it's me again, but you're going to need a moment of magic to win a game.

"Hopefully, we can deliver something special."

Arsenal were stunned after four minutes at home as Ousmane Dembele struck for PSG, who were almost untouchable for 25 minutes.

At 3:15, it was the earliest Arsenal have conceded in the Champions League since Edinson Cavani's goal for the same side in September 2016 (42 seconds), and the earliest they have conceded in the knockout stages of the competition.

But the upbeat Rice prefers to remember the rest of that game, in which Arsenal hit back strongly and were denied on several occasions by PSG keeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, while also having a goal by Mikel Merino ruled out for offside.

"I think the first 15 minutes, I think the early goal probably shocked us a little bit, and it took us probably 15 or 20 minutes to get a foothold in the game," Rice said.

"But once we started keeping the ball, we started to create some chances. Obviously, there was little blip, probably 10 minutes to go, they hit the crossbar and put one wide, but we had some massive chances as well.

"But we're really positive and full of belief we can come here and do something special."

Only two teams have ever reached the Champions League final having lost the first leg of their semi-final tie at home, with Ajax overcoming Panathinaikos in 1995-96, and Tottenham doing the same against Ajax in 2018-19.

Arsenal have won each of their last four away games in the Champions League - the Gunners have never won five in a row on the road across all European competition before.

They are given just a 29.9% chance of winning on Wednesday according to the Opta supercomputer, while PSG's chances of victory sit at 45.3%.

Arsenal will be boosted by the availability of fit-again right back Riccardo Calafiori, while midfield general Thomas Partey is also back, having been suspended last week.

"[Partey] being total calmness. Playing with Thomas, I've realised that's one of the best things about him," Rice said.

"Not always he gets the recognition he deserves, but playing with him, for sure, he allows me to be a better player.

"We're going to need a big performance from him and myself, but also the full 11, because it's going to be the biggest night in the club's history if we get to the final."

Arteta, who is desperate to deliver another trophy having only one a solitary FA Cup since taking charge in 2019, said his team have huge enthusiasm and energy for the task at hand.

"We're one win away from being in the final, let's do the talking [on Wednesday]," the Spaniard said.

"Winning trophies is about being in the right moment in the right place. 

"Liverpool have won the title with less points than we had in the last two seasons. With those points over the last two seasons, we have two Premier Leagues. 

"So you have to be in the right moment in the right place. Hopefully, here, we are in the right moment in Paris to get in the final."
