Beaten at the Emirates Stadium by an applied PSG, Arsenal will have to achieve a feat at the Parc des Princes to win its place in the Champions League final. And this feat would be all the more resounding since the workforce available to Mikel Arteta is literally decimated. Enough to have the Basque technician depressed at a press conference.
“I was waiting for the players to finish their warm -up before the match against PSG at homeexplains the Spanish tactician. Before the match, I cross the tunnel, and I see seven players in civilian clothes. These players are Tomiyasu, a phenomenal defender, with him, Calafiori, a holder who had just signed, absent for five and a half months. Gabriel Magalhães, our best defender. Thomas Partey, our number 6 holder, suspended. Kai Havertz, our number 9 holder, absent four months. Gabriel Jesus, out for nine or ten months, I don't know how long. Jorginho, a player with a huge experience to play this kind of match. Seven players of this absent caliber “said the Manager of the Gunners by listing his injured. Not the best way to approach the return semi-final.
