What happened when these two teams last faced each other?

 

Arsenal delivered a commanding performance to defeat Paris Saint-Germain 2–0 at the Emirates Stadium in the Uefa Champions League group stage, underlining their growing European stature. The Gunners took control early, with Kai Havertz bravely heading home a Leandro Trossard cross in the 20th minute, beating Gianluigi Donnarumma to the ball.

 

Bukayo Saka doubled the lead before half-time with a cleverly taken free-kick that snaked through a crowded box and deceived Donnarumma, who was unsighted by multiple runners. The home crowd roared as Arsenal displayed physical dominance, tactical maturity, and attacking fluency throughout the night.

 

PSG struggled to respond, lacking bite in the final third despite glimpses of danger from Nuno Mendes and Achraf Hakimi. Their best chance came late, with João Neves hitting the crossbar, but Arsenal’s defensive discipline held firm. David Raya made several smart stops to preserve the clean sheet.
