The Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) officially unveiled the calendar of the semi-finals of the Champions League, between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. This crucial meeting is taking place after the Gunners’ qualification, achieved thanks to their victory over Real Madrid. The draw determined that the first act of this semi-final will take place on the Arsenal field on Tuesday 29 April at 21:00 in the iconic Emirates Stadium of London.
The Paris Saint-Germain response will take place one week later, on Wednesday, May 7, at the Parc des Princes de Paris, also at 9 p.m. This configuration gives the Parisian club the advantage of playing the game back in front of its audience, a factor likely to influence the progress of the match and increase the pressure on the opposing players.
After having demonstrated a great determination to qualify in the previous round, Paris Saint-Germain now focuses on this European shock against Arsenal, in the ambition to secure a place in the final and thus continue its journey towards continental consecration.
