This Tuesday evening, PSG suffered their first defeat of the season against Arsenal in the Champions League (2-0). A result which does not help Parisian affairs in this general ranking.
The PSG et
Arsenal faced each other this Tuesday evening for their first European shock of this new edition of the Champions League. Without being impressive, the Gunners
took full advantage of Parisian weaknesses to win on their lawn. If
Luis Enrique is singled out for his contested choices, Mikel Arteta took full advantage of Parisian flaws.
“We played an opponent who has a lot of personality”
After the match, the Spanish technician welcomed the victory of his players but also recognized the difficulties encountered in the second half, in comments reported by Foot Market
: “Really, really happy with the performance. We played an opponent who has a lot of personality, who is really difficult to manage when you don’t have the ball. The first half was very dominant and we created a lot of chances, then the second half was a different story. We suffered much more than we should have. There Champions League brings different demands, but I think we handled it very well (…) We wanted to continue to be as dominant and keep the ball. We had three big chances to score the third to kill the game. I think this (beat the PSGeditor’s note) increases the confidence and belief that we can compete with any team at this level in matches very different from the Premier League. We showed a lot of maturity and put our stamp on how we want to perform in Europe against the best teams, so I really liked that”declared the former Parisian player after the meeting.
