In its short but already dense European history, Paris Saint-Germain never won against Arsenal. But Le – Court – feat was finally carried out by the capital’s club, Tuesday April 29 at the Emirates Stadium, taking over the Gunners (1-0), in the semifinals go from the Champions League.
And the Parisians dug their advantage from the start, on an inspiration from his designated scorer, Ousmane Dembélé (4e), which has hitherto crossed a period of scarcity for five games. An eternity, slightly distorted by his impressive statistics in 2025, he who already counts 26 achievements.
Well launched for the return round, coach Luis Enrique and his players will however have to preserve or aggravate their advance, perhaps without the French international, released on an injury of fatigue in the 70e Minute of play. The appointment is made on May 7, at the Parc des Princes, to perhaps attend the second qualification of the Red and Blue, in the final of the most prestigious European football competition.
What to remember
- The cador. Gianluigi Donnarumma.
The Italian goalkeeper of Paris Saint-Germain has entered another dimension this season, and has once again been able to show it in European competition, at the best of moments. Last bulwark of a Parisian defense sometimes destabilized by the assaults of the Londoners, the porter held good in front of the opposing offensive movements (45th, 56th).
0-1, 4e : Found alone in the axis, Ousmane Dembélé launches Khvicha Kvaratskhelia on the left flank. The Georgian winger provokes and then serves back for the Frenchman, who succeeds in a cross shot, at the ground.
0-1, 50e : Mikel Merino rises in the air on a free kick from the Gunners, and deceives Willian Pacho and Gigio Donnarumma, with a well -placed whim. But the Spanish environment is finally reported in the offside position, after examination of the Var.
On the lawn of the Emirates Stadium, Paris Saint-Germain played the eighth semi-final of the Champions League in its history. Until then, the club of the capital had only imposed itself once, during the single match against the RB Leipzig (3-0), during the “Final 8” organized in 2020. In 1995, 2021, and 2024, PSG had dropped on all the meetings played in the last square of the competition.
The note of the match. B
This semi-final started in the most beautiful way with this goal scored very early by the Parisians. But if Arsenal pushed to return at the end of the first period, the Gunners failed to pack the second, ultimately calmer in terms of intensity and opportunities provided. This match therefore obtains the encouraging note of “B” on our rating scale ranging from ” HAS “ has ” E “.
