The UEFA Champions League semifinal second leg between Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Arsenal promises high drama and world-class football as two European giants clash for a coveted spot in the final. The decisive encounter takes place on Wednesday, May 7th, at Parc des Princes in Paris.
PSG travel back to their home fortress with a 1-0 lead from the first leg in North London. A fourth-minute goal from Ousmane Dembele proved to be the difference, giving the French champions a narrow but vital away goal edge.
Arsenal struggled to break down a resolute PSG defense, and now face a must-win situation in Paris. Mikel Arteta’s men need at least two goals if they want to avoid a penalty shootout or extra time.
Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Raya; Tiber, Saliba, Kiwiy, Levilly-Skelly; Odegad, Patey, Rice; So, Mereno, Martin.
This semifinal is delicately balanced. PSG hold the lead, but Arsenal are more than capable of overturning the deficit. With a place in the 2025 UEFA Champions League final on the line, both teams will be desperate to make history.
Prediction: PSG 2-1 Arsenal (PSG advance 3-1 on aggregate)
