PSG and Arsenal Face Off for Champions League Final Spot

PARIS, France — The Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Arsenal will meet in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League semifinal on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, at the Parc des Princes. With PSG leading 1-0 after the first leg, both teams are vying for a spot in the Champions League final in Munich on May 31.

PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé scored the only goal of the first leg, giving the home team a slight edge. Under the guidance of coach Luis Enrique, PSG hopes to reach their second Champions League final in history.

Despite their lead, PSG comes into this match after a surprising loss to Strasbourg in the Ligue 1, an unexpected setback that may raise concerns about their form and confidence. Meanwhile, Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, also faced defeat in their last league match against Bournemouth and is relying on this opportunity in the Champions League as their last chance for silverware this season.

Tonight’s match is particularly significant as neither club has yet won a Champions League title. Both teams are seeking their first European crown, promising an intense atmosphere in Paris.

The match will kick off at 21:00 CEST and will be officiated by German referee Felix Zwayer, with Bastian Dankert overseeing VAR duties. Fans can watch the live broadcast on M+ Liga de Campeones and LaLiga TV Bar.

Historically, PSG and Arsenal have faced each other four times in the Champions League, with one win for each and two draws. This match could prove decisive as both teams aim to secure a place in the final.

Arteta emphasized the importance of scoring early to shift the momentum in Arsenal’s favor. “We are here to make history. We know what we can do,” he said in a pre-match statement.

As both teams warm up for kickoff, the excitement builds for what promises to be an electrifying night of football in Paris.
