PSG take on the visitors Arsenal in the second leg of UEFA Champions League semifinals. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 7th at Parc des Princes (Paris).
PSG are fully focused on this tournament. The Parisians have been dominating their own, admittedly rather weak, domestic league for so long and so decisively that national titles are met with almost indifference. This season, they were once again the first club among the top five leagues in Western Europe to secure the championship — and it was treated as little more than routine. Luis Enrique wasn’t brought in for Ligue 1 success; any coach would likely have achieved the same outcome. What matters is the Champions League, where he made a strong impression last season by eliminating Barcelona en route to the semifinals. This year, despite some early struggles, PSG have managed to repeat that achievement. The Parisians knocked out two Premier League sides in a row — first eliminating Liverpool on penalties despite a first-leg loss, then edging out Aston Villa in the semis on aggregate. In London, they struck early and held firm under pressure, showing maturity and control in key moments.

Arsenal finally managed to get ahead of Manchester City. In recent seasons, they’ve been involved in a title race with the Citizens, only to fall short — last year by just a couple of points. This time, Arteta’s men overtook Guardiola’s side… But ended up trailing Liverpool, whose consistent form allowed them to seal the title already in April. Understanding the situation, and with injuries limiting their options, Arsenal increasingly shifted their focus to the Champions League. They had few issues in the group stage or in the Round of 16 against PSV. Then came a stunning 3-0 demolition of Real Madrid, followed by a hard-fought win in the Spanish capital, defying talk of a comeback. However, back in London, they struggled to handle Dembélé and company, suffering a narrow but damaging 0-1 defeat.
In 2016, when the giants met in the group stage, both matches ended in draws. But in October of last year, the Gunners were clearly superior at home and secured a 2-0 victory. The French side are seen as favorites at home in this tie. But their main goal will be to avoid defeat and, crucially, to keep a clean sheet — expect under 3.0 total goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
