Dog predicts PSG vs Arsenal UCL match

However, in an unexpected twist that has both amused and unsettled fans, a viral video involving a dog has added an eerie subplot to Wednesday night’s blockbuster tie.

Shared on Instagram, the clip shows the canine 'predicting' the match’s outcome by heading footballs into bins marked with both clubs' logos.

Of the five headers, three landed in PSG’s bin, while two veered off target, none finding the Arsenal bin.

Strangely, four of the balls appeared to strike the Arsenal container before missing their mark, symbolising potential near misses or squandered opportunities for Mikel Arteta’s men.

Both sides head into the contest licking wounds from domestic setbacks.

Arsenal stumbled to a 2-1 defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League, while PSG endured a shock loss in Ligue 1 to Strasbourg.

These results further heighten the stakes, making the return leg not just a battle of tactics but one of mental resolve.
