Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals, looking to reach the final for the second time in club history.
The Gunners advanced to the last four after upsetting incumbent champions Real Madrid, winning 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium and 2-1 at the Bernabeu.
Their excellent performance has set up a match against PSG, who have previously eliminated Premier League clubs Liverpool and Aston Villa.
Details for the first and second legs.
The first leg of the semi-final will take place at Emirates Stadium, with kickoff slated for 8 p.m. BST on either April 29 or 30, 2025.
The return leg is set for 8pm BST on either May 6 or 7, 2025, at Parc des Princes in Paris.
Team News
Arsenal will be without several key players due to injuries. Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Gabriel Magalhaes are all ruled out of both legs.
However, Jorginho and Riccardo Calafiori could return to the squad after missing the quarter-final second leg. Thomas Partey is suspended and will not feature in either match.
PSG enter the tie with a clean bill of health and will be encouraged by Fabian Ruiz’s availability after he avoided suspension.
The French side will hope to maintain their injury-free status ahead of the trip to north London.
Previous Encounters
The two sides met earlier in the competition’s group stage, where Arsenal triumphed 2-0 thanks to goals from Havertz and Bukayo Saka. Despite that result, PSG’s form under manager Luis Enrique has improved significantly, promising a tightly contested semi-final.
