On April 29, 2025, at the Emirates Stadium in London, Paris Saint-Germain claimed a narrow 1–0 victory over Arsenal in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semifinal. The only goal of the match was scored as early as the 4th minute by Ousmane Dembélé, assisted by Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
Despite both teams having possession spells and creating chances, PSG hold the advantage going into the return leg, which will take place on May 7 in Paris. This historic result gives the Parisians a small but important edge ahead of the clash at the Parc des Princes.
In terms of dangerous chances, Arsenal came much closer to scoring, generating 1.65 expected goals (xG) compared to PSG's 1.15.
There were also yellow cards shown to Achraf Hakimi (PSG) and Leandro Trossard, and Arsenal had a controversially disallowed goal.
