All the goals from PSG vs Arsenal in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Semifinal
Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, heads to Paris looking to turn things around after losing 1–0 at home to Paris Saint-Germain, hoping to reach the UEFA Champions League final for just the second time in their history. Still buzzing from their big win over Real Madrid in the quarterfinals, the Gunners are counting on key players like Declan Rice—who scored two stunning free kicks in that tie—and the return of Thomas Partey to the starting XI. Arteta is expected to switch things up tactically, using Mikel Merino as a false nine, flanked by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli out wide. Also available for selection are Martin Ødegaard, Jurrien Timber, and Riccardo Calafiori.
PSG, meanwhile, come into this one with a lead and plenty of confidence in their high-pressing, possession-based style—something coach Luis Enrique has been very vocal about. They’ve got Ousmane Dembélé back, who scored the winner in the first leg, and he’ll be leading the line alongside Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Desiré Doué. The midfield will feature Vitinha, João Neves, and Fabián Ruiz, while the back line will be anchored by Willian Pacho. With pretty much their full squad available—except for a late question mark over Lee Kang-in—the Parisians are chasing redemption after falling short in the semis last year. Paris is all set for a massive showdown between two historic clubs still chasing their first ever Champions League trophy.
