UEFA Champions League semi final first leg at the Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025, Paris Saint Germain (PSG) secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Arsenal. An early goal by Ousmane Dembélé set the tone for the match which gave PSG a slim advantage ahead of the return leg in Paris.  PSG wasted no time asserting themselves with Dembélé finding the net in the 4th minute. The French winger capitalized on a well placed pass from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia who delivered a powerful left footed shot that beat Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya.

Despite the early setback Arsenal gradually grew into the game. The Gunners thought they had equalized shortly after halftime when Mikel Merino scored but the goal was disallowed following a VAR review that confirmed an offside in the buildup.  PSG’s goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma played a pivotal role in maintaining the lead. He made several key saves which was notably denied close range efforts from Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard who showcased his shot stopping prowess throughout the match.

While PSG had chances to extend their lead including a shot that hit the crossbar, they were unable to capitalize further. Nevertheless, their disciplined defensive performance and effective game management ensured they held onto their advantage. The second leg is scheduled for May 7, 2025, at the Parc des Princes in Paris. Arsenal will need to overturn the one goal deficit to keep their Champions League aspirations alive whiles PSG aims to secure their place in the final.
