UEFA provides a little FIFA World Cup preview (6 minutes)

The 2025–26 UEFA Champions League is coming to a climax.  There are four home and away semi-final matches over the next two weeks and one final on May 30th.  The four remaining teams heading into the semifinals are Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), Bayern Munich, Arsenal, and Atlético Madrid.

Can the Gunners break the curse?


Arsenal Football Club just beat Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. They won 2-1 in the second leg at the Bernabéu Stadium last week after winning 3-0 at home in London the prior week. This win secured Arsenal's place in the semi-finals for the first time since 2009. This victory over the Spaniards was very unexpected. Real Madrid is by far the best team in Champions League history. They are, many would argue, the best team in the world and have the best player in the world in Kylian Mbappé. Despite these odds against them, Arsenal just beat Real Madrid not once, but twice in a row. After completing this 5-1 aggregate victory they now face French team Paris Saint-Germain F.C (PSG) in a two legged Semi Final, at home on April 28th and away in Paris on May 7th.
