PSG vs Arsenal (Aggregate: 1-0)
📅 Date: 07.05.2025
🏟️ Venue: Parc des Princes, Paris
🔎 First Leg Recap:
PSG took a narrow but crucial 1-0 win at the Emirates, courtesy of an early strike from Ousmane Dembélé. The Ligue 1 champions rested key players over the weekend, losing 2-1 to Strasbourg, but they remain laser-focused on a potential treble.
🔥 Team & Form Insights:
-
PSG are strong at home in UCL, winning 3 of their last 4, but have shown vulnerabilities (losses to Atlético and Liverpool).
-
Historically, PSG have advanced from 18 of the last 19 European ties after winning the first leg away.
-
Arsenal’s 12-game unbeaten run was snapped by PSG and followed by another setback vs Bournemouth (1-2), suggesting some late-season fatigue.
-
However, Arsenal have won 4 straight UCL away games, scoring 16 goals and conceding once in each – never keeping a clean sheet but outscoring opponents impressively.
