Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal History

Prior to the Qatari takeover of 2011, Paris Saint-Germain had only briefly been involved in UEFA’s premier club competition, albeit they did reach the semi-finals in 1994/95, losing to AC Milan, In more recent seasons, the Parisiens have been a constant presence in the UEFA Champions League and regularly featured in the latter stages of the tournament.

After reaching the Champions League quarter-finals four seasons on the trot, PSG experienced perhaps its most humiliating UCL result up until that point in 2016/17 when they took on FC Barcelona in the Round of 16. The French side had beaten their Catalan opponents, 4-0, in a one-sided first leg at the Parc des Princes, and with less than 30 minutes remaining of the second leg at the Camp Nou, PSG looked set for a place in the last-eight, only to then concede three times in the dying minutes to suffer a dramatic 6-1 loss on the night and 6-5 on aggregate.

In 2020, PSG finally reached the UEFA Champions League Final, only to be outclassed by Bayern Munich in a match played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Arsenal have had a fairly similar run in the tournament in recent years. During Arsène Wenger’s tenure at the north London club, the Gunners were near ever-presents in the tournament and almost always progressed to the knockout phase.

In 2005/06, Arsenal advanced to the Champions League final and even took the lead against Barcelona when Sol Campbell netted for the Premier League side. With 15 minutes to play, it looked as if Arsenal would hold out for victory, only for La Blaugrana to roar back with goals from Samuel Eto’o and Juliano Belletti to crush the hearts of the Gunners and their supporters.

Arsenal also reached the quarter-finals twice and the semi-finals once under the tutelage of Wenger. The club went six years without Champions League football before making a return to UEFA's flagship tournament in 2023.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal Stats and Mutual Connections

There are a few players of the past generation who can claim to have worn the colours of both these European giants.

• Nicolas Anelka is perhaps the first that comes to mind. Arsenal purchased the striker as a 17-year-old during the 1996/97 season, shortly after Arsène Wenger had taken over as manager of the Gunners. Anelka made his name in north London, notably scoring in the FA Cup final win over Newcastle United shortly after earning a maiden cap with France. He went on to complete a mega €35m move to Real Madrid in 1999. Anelka returned to PSG just 12 months later, bringing an end to his underwhelming spell in Madrid.

• Mikel Arteta joined PSG, on loan from Barcelona, in 2001 having failed to earn a senior appearance for the Catalan club. After six-and-a-half years with Everton, Arteta signed for Arsenal in 2011. He was named captain of the Gunners in 2014 and would later take charge of the senior team in December 2019, for what was his first managerial role.

• David Luiz enjoyed two seasons with PSG, sandwiched by separate stints at Chelsea. The ex-Brazil defender switched to Chelsea's London rivals Arenal in 2019 and he made 73 appearances for the Gunners before returning to his homeland.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Arsenal Head-to-Head

The 1993/94 season was the first in which these teams contested a competitive meeting for the first time. They met in the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup, as Ian Wright opened the scoring for Arsenal at the Parc des Princes. David Ginola drew level for PSG as the two sides headed to Highbury all square. Kevin Campbell scored the decisive goal as Arsenal went on to lift this trophy, beating Parma in the final.

At long last, PSG and Arsenal clashed in the UEFA Champions League in the 2016/17 campaign. The teams were grouped together and subsequently played out a stalemate in Paris and then again in London. Edinson Cavani broke the deadlock in both games, including a glancing header just 41 seconds after kick-off at the Parc des Princes. Alexis Sánchez scored in the closing stages to secure a point for the visiting Gunners.
