Arsenal vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview

Tournament: UEFA Champions League

Date: April 29, 2025

Kick-off Time: 7:00 PM GMT

Venue: Emirates Stadium

The business end of football is well and truly underway. The UEFA Champions League will also undergo its semi-finals which will witness four teams battling it out for Europe’s top honour. Arsenal will welcome PSG to the Emirates Stadium with the hope of stamping their authority in the first leg. The Gunners walked past Real Madrid to secure a place in the last four and will be poised to make it count. Defeatless in their last 12 outings, Arsenal come into this game on the back of a draw against Crystal Palace. Kai Havertz leads the charts with 15 goals followed by Bukayo Saka with eleven and Leandro Trossard with ten strikes.

Paris Saint-Germain on the other hand have also been one of the most impressive sides across all competitions this season. They have been flawless in the Ligue 1 and have also made it to the last four of the Champions League. PSG cleaned up Aston Villa in the quarter-finals before booking a trip to London. Luis Enrique’s side have been very successful despite the departure of key figures during last summer. However, PSG head to London following their first defeat in the French top flight. Ousmane Dembele leads the pack with 32 goals while Bradley Barcola and Goncalo Ramos have notched up 18 and 15 goals respectively.
