Arsenal are heading into their Champions League semi-final against PSG with a major scheduling boost. After cruising past Real Madrid with a 5-1 aggregate win, the Gunners will get a full week of rest before the first leg—thanks to Crystal Palace’s FA Cup semi-final rescheduling their Premier League fixture.
PSG, meanwhile, face a tight schedule with three matches in six days, including a clash against Nice just before traveling to the Emirates. While the French giants could request fixture changes, as they did before facing Aston Villa, Arsenal already look sharper and better rested.
Momentum, fitness, and fixture fortune—all currently favor the Gunners.
