London: Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique hailed his "incredible" team after Ousmane Dembele's early goal gave them a 1-0 win away to Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final on Tuesday, but insisted there would be no euphoria in their ranks ahead of next week's return.

"I think we showed the mentality that we show in every match and that mentality is a great pleasure for me to see as coach of Paris Saint-Germain," the Spaniard told broadcaster Canal Plus following the game at the Emirates Stadium.

Dembele's goal was all that separated the teams, although substitute Goncalo Ramos hit the bar late on, while Mikel Merino had an effort disallowed for offside at the other end early in the second half.

"I can't complain because it was a game with a lot of strong emotions," Luis Enrique said when asked if he regretted Ramos not converting his late opportunity.

"It is difficult to play in that atmosphere, which was incredible. I think the goal early in the game was important for our confidence and I am happy because you can win or lose a game, but the mentality and ambition that our team shows is incredible."
