Force situation

  • PSG : Ousmane Dembele has recovered from injury and is ready to play, continuing to be the team's main attacking spearhead.

  • Arsenal : The English team welcomes the return of Thomas Partey after suspension, while Jurrien Timber and Riccardo Calafiori have also returned to training, strengthening the defense.

Strategy and expectations

Coach Mikel Arteta needs to adjust his tactics after the defensive plan that worked well against Real Madrid failed to work against PSG, especially against the flexibility of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.

Captain Martin Odegaard is expected to lead Arsenal's attacking play, although his recent form has not been particularly impressive.

Statistics and history

Arsenal are trying to become only the third team in Champions League history to overturn a first-leg semi-final deficit at home, after Ajax in 1996 and Tottenham in 2019.

Time and broadcast

The match kicks off at 20:00 BST (2:00 am on 8 May Vietnam time) and will be broadcast live on TNT Sports in the UK.

PSG (4-3-3): Donnarumma; Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes; Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia.
