We are all set for another clash of the titans in the UEFA Champions League semi-final second leg. The question is where to watch Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal if you can’t watch the game from the stands of Parc des Princes. Timings for the game are 9:00 pm CET (7th May) and 12:30 am IST (8th May).
The last leg was won by Paris Saint-Germain, and they take a 1-0 lead to their home. Neither team would be satisfied with their performances. Arsenal couldn’t take home advantage, whereas PSG should have surely scored more goals. Ousmane Dembele scored the only goal in the match in the 4th minute. Donnarumma also made some heroic saves to deny Arsenal players. Arsenal scored a goal from a set piece but was ruled out due to an offside.

Teams news, Injury updates, and expected XI
Paris Saint-Germain
There was a doubt about whether Ousmane Dembele would be fit or not for the second leg. He returns to the team training before the big game and is expected to start the match. Kimpembe and Lee Kang-in are in doubt for this game. The rest of the squad seems to be fine.
Expected starting XI: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes, Ruiz, Vitinha, Neves, Doue, Dembele, and Kvaratskhelia
Arsenal
A lot of injuries have happened to Arsenal players this season, and they will miss some of the key starters for the trip to Paris. The players who will miss this match are Havertz, Gabriel, Jesus, and Tomiyasu, whereas Calafori, Timber, and Jorginho are in doubt.
Expected starting XI: Raya, White, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard, Partey, Rice, Saka, Merino, and Martinelli
Key Players
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Saka remains the heartbeat of the right flank, continuing to produce fine displays throughout the tournament. Inventive, intelligently positioned, and capable of precise crossing. Saka offers Arsenal chances to score and control wide areas. Saka tracks back to defend quite faithfully, often helping his full-back to retain Arsenal’s shape in defence. In such a high-pressure second leg, firing blanks won’t be an option for Saka if the Gunners want to hold on to a chance of progressing.
Ousmane Dembele (Paris Saint-Germain)
Dembele has been the big man for PSG in this year’s Champions League campaign, and his influence will be equally crucial for the second leg of the semifinal tie. His speed, dribbling, and flair in one-on-one situations make him a threat on the flanks. He scored in the first leg and also pressed very high to state PSG’s intention on the attack. Dembele could really be the key, creating chaos to break the opposition lines and create space for his mate Kvaratskhelia.
Predictions
Paris Saint-Germain are the favourites going into the game as they have home advantage and also have a one-goal lead. Surely, you can’t rely on this small lead, and Arsenal surely have that potential to turn it around, but things won’t be easy for them. It will be a great watch for all the football fans.
