First-half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka give Arsenal their first Champions League win of 2024-25. Look back at the best facts and analyse the Opta data with our Arsenal vs PSG stats page.

After drawing 0-0 with Atlanta in Bergamo on Matchday 1, Arsenal were able to seal all three points in their second UEFA Champions League match of 2024-25 with a comfortable 2-0 win over Paris Saint-Germain at the Emirates on Tuesday night.

A Kai Havertz header and a Bukayo Saka free-kick which bypassed everyone and found its way past PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma were the difference on the night, despite the French side dominating possession for large periods of the match.

For Havertz, it was the sixth successive home appearance for Arsenal that he’s scored in, becoming the first player to do that for the club since Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in 2019.
