Arsenal vs PSG Preview and Prediction: The Gunners deliver the finishing blow.

Latest Arsenal vs PSG team news

Arsenal's Thomas Partey was deservedly reprimanded by Declan Rice at the Bernabeu, having received an unnecessary yellow card that will result in a suspension for the upcoming first leg.

Partey's suspension is compounded by the fact that Jorginho – the only backup option at number six – is likely to be out for the rest of the season due to a chest injury. This forces Rice to drop deeper, ceding the left-sided position to Mikel Merino.

This situation depends on whether Merino recovers in time from his unspecified injury, but it's highly likely he will be included in the squad, just like Ben White (knee).

However, Riccardo Calafiori is a major concern with a knee injury, while Gabriel (hamstring), Kai Havertz (hamstring), Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee), Gabriel Jesus (anterior cruciate ligament), and Jorginho (chest) are definitely out.

Conversely, PSG have virtually no squad problems. Luis Enrique is likely to have his strongest team available when he travels to Emirates.

The former Barcelona coach didn't hesitate to field his strongest team against Nice, and much of that lineup will likely remain the same, despite the less-than-satisfying result. Bradley Barcola is putting pressure on Desire Doue to take his place.

Ousmane Dembele has had a fantastic season with 44 direct contributions in 44 games – 32 goals and 12 assists – but his form is declining as he has gone six consecutive games without scoring in Ligue 1 and the Champions League.

Latest Arsenal vs PSG football match prediction

While Real Madrid fans optimistically envisioned a miraculous comeback, Arteta's Arsenal had only one objective: to overwhelm Carlo Ancelotti's side at home and end Los Blancos' latest reign of European dominance.

Arsenal did just that, and even more, with a 3-0 home win in the first leg of the quarter-finals, followed by an equally impressive 2-1 victory at the Bernabeu, securing a 5-1 aggregate win – an almost unbelievable result against the most successful team in the history of the competition. And that victory was entirely deserved.

Without a true striker and missing Gabriel Magalhaes in set pieces, Arsenal entered the battle against Real Madrid as the underdog. But they overcame all difficulties to reach the Champions League semi-finals for the third time in history, the first time since 2009.

Back then, they lost to Manchester United, three years after their defeat to Barcelona in the final. To date, Arsenal have a 50% success rate in previous Champions League semi-finals, and no one can deny their status as title contenders this season.

Arteta is leading the team on an eight-match unbeaten run in the 2024-25 Champions League – the longest since the 2005-06 season with 12 matches – and Arsenal are also on a 12-match unbeaten run across all competitions, with six wins and six draws.

However, their habit of squandering their lead once again cost them dearly, as they were held to a 2-2 draw by Crystal Palace in the Premier League on Wednesday – a result that brought Liverpool closer to the title – and in total, they have drawn nine games this season despite having taken the lead, more than any other team.

Those weaknesses need to be exploited by PSG if they don't want to share the same fate as Real Madrid. But Luis Enrique's team proved their mettle by successively overcoming two Premier League representatives: Arne Slot's Liverpool and Unai Emery's Aston Villa.

Despite losing 2-3 in the second leg against Villa – a defeat that didn't affect their qualification – PSG showed they weren't invincible.

Considering their recent form in Ligue 1, the defeat at Villa Park seems to have dealt a heavy blow to Les Parisiens. In their three subsequent domestic matches, they only managed a 2-1 win against Le Havre, a 1-1 draw against Nantes, and a home defeat against Nice on Friday evening.

However, with the Ligue 1 title already secured, PSG can now focus all their efforts on the Champions League. With their 1-1 draw against Nantes on April 22nd, PSG extended their winning streak away from home to 18 consecutive matches across all competitions.

However, PSG's attack was ineffective against Arsenal in their 0-2 defeat at Emirates on October 1st, extending their winless streak against the Gunners to five matches since their first encounter.

In fact, PSG have never faced any team in European competitions as many times without a win as they have against Arsenal. The Gunners will need to replicate their performance against Real Madrid if they want to reach the final against Barcelona or Inter Milan on May 31st.
