The second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2025 semifinal between PSG and Arsenal is set to be a thrilling encounter, following a 1-1 draw in the first leg at London's Emirates Stadium on April 29, 2025. With both teams vying for a spot in the final against Inter or Barcelona on May 31, 2025, at the Allianz Arena, this match promises high stakes and intense competition. Here's a comprehensive guide to watching the game, including date, time, and viewing options across various regions.

Match Context and Importance

PSG, under Luis Enrique, arrives with confidence after the first-leg draw, where Ousmane Dembélé scored a stunning goal to keep the tie alive. The Parisians finished third in the Champions League league phase (5 wins, 2 draws, 1 loss, 20 goals) and eliminated Real Madrid 4-3 in the quarterfinals, with Kylian Mbappé (7 goals) as their talisman. Their recent 2-0 win over Lens in Ligue 1 on May 4, 2025, reinforces their form, though the Parc des Princes has shown vulnerabilities, with two draws in their last four home games. The recovery of Dembélé is a boost, but Presnel Kimpembe is doubtful with a knee knock, potentially opening the door for Lucas Beraldo. PSG will look to leverage Mbappé's speed and Bradley Barcola's flair to break down Arsenal's defense, backed by 47,000 passionate fans.

Arsenal, led by Mikel Arteta, holds a slight advantage after Bukayo Saka's penalty equalized Dembélé's strike in the first leg. The Gunners finished second in the league phase (6 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss, 25 goals) and ousted Manchester City 3-2 in the quarterfinals, with Martin Ødegaard (5 assists) orchestrating play. Their 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the Premier League on May 2, 2025, keeps them in the title race, but their defense has conceded two goals in three away Champions League games this season. The absence of Jurrien Timber due to a knee injury forces Ben White to cover at right-back, while Gabriel Magalhães is confirmed fit after a scare. Arsenal will rely on Ødegaard's creativity and Saka's pace, supported by 5,000 traveling fans, aiming for their first final since 2006, with an unbeaten away record in the tournament (4 wins, 1 draw).

The first leg ended in a dramatic 1-1 draw, setting the stage for a decisive second leg. Both teams have shown attacking prowess, with PSG scoring 20 goals and Arsenal 25 in the competition, suggesting a potential goal-fest. The winner will face either Inter or Barcelona, adding pressure to this "all-or-nothing" clash, as described by Arsenal's official website.
