  May 7, 2025 Paris Saint-Germain - Arsenal Parc des Princes, Paris, France Paris Saint-Germain will welcome London's Arsenal to their legendary Parc des Princes stadium on Wednesday, May 7, 2025, for the second leg of the Champions League semifinal. The French champions will be defending a 1-0 advantage from the first match, in which Ousmane Dembélé scored an early goal in the 4th minute to secure an important advantage before the home return leg. The first match in London clearly showed the difference in current form between the two teams. While PSG under Luis Enrique's guidance has risen to a new level and become the scourge of English clubs, Arsenal, playing their first Champions League semifinal since 2009, started nervously and was pushed back by their opponent in the opening phase of the match. In the return leg, several players will have key roles, and their individual statistics indicate how important they will be for their teams. PSG midfielder João Neves averag...

UNBEATEN ARSENAL WELCOME DRIBBLING POWERHOUSE PSG IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE SEMI-FINAL

Image
  April 29, 2025 Arsenal - Paris SG Arsenal are preparing for their sixth meeting with Paris Saint-Germain, with the Gunners remaining unbeaten against the French giants (2 wins, 3 draws). PSG is the opponent that Arsenal have faced the most times in European competitions without ever losing (5 matches). Arsenal have already faced PSG in this season's Champions League, winning 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium in the league phase last October. Only one English team has managed to defeat PSG twice in a single edition of this competition: Manchester City in the 2020-21 semi-finals (2-1 away, 2-0 at home). The Parisian club also has an uncomfortable record on English soil - they have lost five of their last six away matches against English teams in the Champions League (1 win), falling to four different opponents in this run (Manchester City twice, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Aston Villa). This semi-final will be just the third in Champions League history where two Spanish managers face of...

Image
    Aston Villa v Paris SG   April 15, 2025 The setting of the ancient Villa Park trembles with anticipation. The air in Birmingham is charged with an electrifying mixture of hope and nervousness. Could one of the greatest comebacks in Champions League history be born here tonight? Aston Villa faces a monumental task – erasing a two-goal deficit against French giants Paris Saint-Germain and fighting their way to a place in the semi-finals of the world's most prestigious club competition. History knows many stories of the impossible becoming reality. And PSG is precisely the team that can unexpectedly fail even from the most promising positions. Of the seven previous occasions when they won the first leg by two or more goals, they were eliminated three times! Should they fail to advance this time as well, they would become the absolute record holders in the number of eliminations after gaining a two-goal advantage in the first match. Villa Park will breathe as one...

Image
  Paris SG v Aston Villa April 9th, 2025 Parc des Princes will witness the historically first encounter between Paris Saint-Germain and Aston Villa. This will be only the second Champions League quarter-final between French and English teams in the last eight seasons, after the match between Manchester City and Lyon in the single match of the 2019-20 season (1:3). PSG eliminated Liverpool in the round of 16 on their way to the quarter-finals, breaking a streak of three consecutive Champions League eliminations against English opponents (against Manchester City in the 2015-16 and 2020-21 seasons and against Manchester United in the 2018-19 season). Aston Villa must deal with a historical away curse against French opponents. In five matches on French soil so far, the "Villans" have not recorded a single victory (2 draws, 3 losses), which is the most away matches without a win against teams from one country. The last two matches, both under coach Unai Emery, ended in defeat...
