Arsenal will host Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in a highly anticipated UEFA Champions League match on Tuesday, with both teams aiming for a crucial win in their second group stage fixture.

In their Champions League opener, Arsenal secured a 0-0 draw against Atalanta in Italy, with goalkeeper David Raya making a pivotal penalty save to earn a point for the Gunners. Meanwhile, PSG narrowly triumphed over Girona with a 1-0 victory at Parc des Princes, thanks to an own goal from Girona’s Argentine goalkeeper, Paulo Gazzaniga, News.Az reports.

Historically, Arsenal and PSG have clashed four times in European competitions. The London side emerged victorious in the 1994 European Cup Winners' Cup semifinals, winning 1-0 after a 1-1 draw in Paris.
