In this episode I'm joined by Tom Canton of Football London to discuss Arsenal's 1-0 defeat to PSG in the Champions League semi-final first leg last night. We discuss the way the visitors dominated the opening stages – were they very good or were the Gunners bad? We analyse the goal we conceded, and some of their other chances, before we look at the opportunities Mikel Arteta's side had to score through Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard. We also had a goal disallowed, but were probably fortunate in the end that PSG didn't score again. There's also some chat about the fans/atmosphere, and how the tie is poised going into the second leg in Paris next week.

In this episode of the Arsenal Women Arsecast, Tim and Jamie look back over Arsenal’s 4-1 triumph in Lyon that sends them to the Champions League Final against Barcelona in Lisbon on May 24. They discuss the tactical differences between the first and second legs, how the early goal changed the tie and allowed Arsenal to control the game. There are in-depth looks at the performances of Kim Little, Mariona and Frida Maanum as well as consideration of how Lyon’s changes helped Arsenal. Then in part two there are listener questions from Bluesky on the final, why Arsenal have mounted so many UWCL comebacks and how being in the final aids summer recruitment.

In this episode we begin with Arsenal reaching the Champions League final after beating Lyon 4-1 on Sunday. We chat about how it could be the first of two finals for the club, as the men prepare to take on PSG in the first leg of their semi-final. Is there something in the stars for Arsenal in European competition this season? We reflect on aspects of our Premier League season after the title was decided yesterday, as well as answering questions about Mikel Merino and his availability for tomorrow, the big summer striker search, set-pieces and how important they might be against PSG, potential opposition in the final if we make it, and lots more.
