The UEFA Champions League’s semifinals will begin on Tuesday, with a spot in the final on the line. It has been one of the most fascinating tournaments in recent years.
In the other semi-final, Premier League club Arsenal will face off against French powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners have managed to overcome several serious injuries to reach the last four. The first leg of their match will take place at the Emirates Stadium.
Paris Saint-Germain has been one of the most dominant teams in Europe this season, as they were able to secure their domestic league title earlier this month. The Gunners, on the other hand, were expected to be the runners-up to Liverpool in the Premier League, but they were able to outlast the Reds in the quarterfinals.
Confirmed Lineups
Arsenal confirmed lineup (4-3-3): David Raya (GK), Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Oedegaard, Declan Rice, Mikel Merino, Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli.
PSG confirmed lineup (4-3-3): Gianluigi Donnarumma (GK), Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Willian Pacho, Nuno Mendes, Joao Neves, Vitinha, Fabian Ruiz, Desire Doue, Ousmane Dembele, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Arsenal vs PSG Prediction :
Both squads have not been setting the world alight recently. We shouldn’t read too much into their recent domestic struggles. Their sole focus is on this match as they are in the semis of the Champions League.
The first leg of the Champions League semi-final between two of the best managers in the world is a chess match between two teams that are very control-oriented.
The first meeting between these two clubs ended in a fairly even result, with Arsenal prevailing due to their physical strength. This time around, both managers will be making changes, with ‘Kvaradona’ and ‘Dembele’ starting. Luis Enrique’s men have displayed their ability to handle pressure situations in various environments, and they’ll be relying on their attacking talents to get the job done.
