Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are set for a thrilling UEFA Champions League semifinal, with just two matches standing between them and a shot at the title. As the first leg approaches, both teams have revealed their starting 11s, aiming to seize the upper hand.
The sides previously met in the league phase, but PSG come into this rematch looking much more formidable, especially with Ousmane DembΓ©lΓ© back in action after missing their earlier encounter.
Arsenal earned their spot in the semifinals with a 2-1 win over Real Madrid in the second leg, securing a 5-1 aggregate victory. PSGβs path was far more dramatic. A chaotic second leg against Aston Villa saw them narrowly edge their opponents 5-4 on aggregate.
Neither team has been perfect recently. PSG were held to a 1-1 draw by FC Nantes and suffered their first Ligue 1 loss of the season to OGC Nice. Arsenal, meanwhile, were forced to settle for a 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace.
