Arsenal vs PSG Stats: Pre-Match Facts Arsenal are unbeaten in their previous four meetings with Paris SG in European competition (W1 D3). Indeed, the French side have played more games against the Gunners without winning (4) than against any other opponent in European competition. Paris SG have lost each of their last three away games against English sides in the UEFA Champions League, losing twice to Manchester City (both in 2021). and once to Newcastle last season. Their 1-4 defeat at St. James’ Park last term was their heaviest away defeat to an English opponent in European competition. Arsenal’s previous home game against a French side in the UEFA Champions League was a 6-0 victory over Lens in last season’s group stage. The Gunners were 4-0 up after 27 minutes in that game, while it remains the biggest ever win by an English team over a French opponent in European competition. Mikel Arteta will be the sixth different Spanish manager that Luis Enrique has faced in the UEFA Champions League. The current Paris SG boss has won five of his last six such matches (L1), and beaten each of the previous five Spaniards he’s faced in the competition at least once (Pep Guardiola, Unai Emery, Xavi, Imanol Alguacil and Míchel). Arsenal failed to score in their final UEFA Champions League game of 2023-24 (0-1 v Bayern Munich) and their opening game of 2024-25 (0-0 v Atalanta). They’ve never previously failed to score in three consecutive matches in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League. Arsenal had just nine touches in the opposition box in their 0-0 draw with Atalanta last time out; their fewest in a UEFA Champions League match since March 2014 in a game against Bayern Munich (also nine). Only three players have played for both Arsenal and Paris SG in the UEFA Champions League, with the current Gunners boss Mikel Arteta being one of those (along with Nicolas Anelka and Lassana Diarra). The last Paris SG player to score in the UEFA Champions League was Kylian Mbappé on April 16th (vs Barcelona), with the French side attempting 71 shots without scoring in the competition since then. Indeed, they’ve only landed 14 of those 71 shots on target, but have hit the woodwork on four occasions. Bukayo Saka has been directly involved in seven goals in five UEFA Champions League appearances at the Emirates Stadium (four goals and three assists). Indeed, this is the most combined goals and assists by an Arsenal player through his first five home matches in the competition. Paris SG’s Warren Zaïre-Emery made 70 high-intensity pressures in his side’s win over Girona on MD1; the most of any player in the game, despite his side dominating possession (64%). Indeed, Internazionale’s Nicolò Barella was the only midfielder to record more across the opening round of this season’s UEFA Champions League (77 v Manchester City).
