Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the Champions League semi-final at the Emirates Stadium is highly anticipated, with both teams showcasing a strong start to the season. Arsenal enters this match on an impressive unbeaten run across all competitions, recently defeating Real Madrid, although they have demonstrated vulnerability by conceding late goals in matches such as their recent draw against Crystal Palace . PSG, having eliminated Aston Villa in their previous round, will likely seek to exploit Arsenal's defensive weaknesses while attempting to regain form after a series of disappointing performances .
Real Madrid saw the Gunners advance into the last four, while PSG almost succumbed to an impressive Aston Villa comeback at Villa Park. After claiming a 3-1 win at home, they took a 2-0 lead in the West Midlands before Villa rallied in the second-half and won 3-2 on the night.
Arsenal enter the semi-finals buoyed by a stunning 5-1 aggregate victory over Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, having previously dispatched PSV 9-3 on aggregate in the last 16. Their 3-0 first-leg win was followed by a 2-1 triumph at the Bernabeu, exceeding expectations.
