Arsenal host Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday evening in their second match of the 2024/25 Champions League campaign.
The Gunners come into the match in fine form, sitting third in the Premier League just one point off the top, though they laboured to a 0-0 draw against Atalanta in Bergamo in their first match of this competition’s new format.
Mikel Arteta’s side face their first big European test as they play French champions PSG, who once again sit top of Ligue 1 after five wins in their opening six matches.
The Parisian side also struggled in their first European match though, requiring a 90th-minute own goal to sneak past Spanish side Girona at home.

Arsenal vs PSG LIVE
Arsenal 1-0 PSG
That came from nothing. Nuno Mendes dances around Bukayo Saka and moves into the inside left channel. He decides to let fly and smokes a left-footed effort at goal.
David Raya leaps across but can’t get to the ball and luckily for Arsenal it skips just wide of the far post.

Arsenal 1-0 PSG
23 mins: Now PSG need to respond.
Luis Enrique did not look too pleased after that goal went in and he can probably tell that his team are second best over these opening 20 minutes or so.
Arsenal have had plenty of chances with the visitors offering little in response.

GOAL! Arsenal 1-0 PSG (Kai Havertz, 20 minutes)
Kai Havertz is the man to break the deadlock. Arsenal bring the ball down the left after Thomas Partey recovers the ball. Leandro Trossard carries it forward before lifting a cross into the box.
Gianluigi Donnarumma comes out for the ball but times it wrong. He can’t get there and Havertz is on hand to nod the ball into the near bottom corner.

Arsenal 0-0 PSG
18 mins: There’s a frustrating pattern developing in this match. PSG get possession, look to pass through Arsenal, get pushed back then win a goal kick and restart the whole process.
The Gunners need to get on the ball and force the issue.

Arsenal 0-0 PSG
15 mins: Saka swings a high cross into the PSG box but Donnarumma confidently comes off his line and plucks it out of the air. From the restart, the visitors look to tempt Arsenal out of their shape but are finding no joy trying to play out from defence.

Arsenal 0-0 PSG
12 mins: At the other end of the pitch PSG win a corner. It gets whipped into the middle of the box where Joao Neves flicks it on only for Leandro Trossard to head it away.
On the edge of the box Nuno Mendes arrives and attempts an ambitious volley which sails well wide of the target. It wasn’t a close effort but it’s a sign of PSG’s desire to attack the Gunners.

Arsenal 0-0 PSG
Arsenal recover the ball in the middle of the pitch and break quickly through Riccardo Calafiori. He drives into the middle of the pitch before lacing a pass out to Saka on the right.

Arsenal 0-0 PSG
6 mins: Donnarumma and Martinelli are both fine to continue. Arsenal attempt to play out from the back but Bukayo Saka loses possession after a tackle from Bradley Barcola.
There’s no space in the box for him to operate and Arsenal’s quick movement sees them swarm the forward and win themselves a free kick.

Arsenal 0-0 PSG
3 mins: Gianluigi Donnarumma is down after a collision with Gabriel Martinelli. The Arsenal winger is slipped into the box and drives at the PSG goalkeeper chasing after the loose ball.
The goalkeeper gets there first but needs a bit of treatment after the two collide.
