Paris is a regular in the semi-finals. For the fifth time in its history, PSG is playing in a Champions League semi-final. While the first was in 1995, Paris has made a habit of reaching the last four of the Champions League in recent years. In the last six editions, PSG has reached this level four times (2019-2020, 2020-2021, 2023-2024, 2024-2025). This brings its total number of European semi-finals to nine, across all competitions.

PSG has a revenge to take. Feeling like déjà vu? It's normal: PSG and Arsenal have already faced each other this season in the Champions League. It was on Tuesday, October 1st, during the second matchday of the regular season. Then, in the warm-up phase, PSG was coming off a painful victory against Girona, and had understandably lost 2-0, without really influencing the match .

Mikel Arteta, disciple of Luis Enrique. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta admits to being a "huge fan of Luis Enrique for several years, an incredible coach."

I have very good memories of him. I learned a lot from him." This time, it is Luis Enrique who would like to have learned a lot from the October defeat .
