Faced with the display board before approaching this second round, the capital's club attracted its world on the lawn of the Emirates Stadium. Gunners' winger Bukayo Saka even admitted that PSG was the best team he had faced this season.
The English international has also returned to his duel with the left -wing side of the Ile -de -France Nuno Mendes. The Portuguese has overall taken over on the number 7 of the Gunners in this first leg. Nevertheless, the Londoner does not admit himself defeated.
“It was a good battle against Nuno Mendes. It is a side top, it is very fast. I like this kind of duel and I can't wait to find him next week, “ he confessed during an interview with Sky Sports. The duel may be explosive at the Parc des Princes.
Saka impressed by PSG
Paris Saint-Germain has changed a lot. Tamed by Arsenal last October on the score of 2 goals to 0, the capital's club rectified the shot during the first leg (1-0). The men of Luis Enrique have progressed in all the game sectors since the first confrontation.
A progression that surprised Bukayo Saka. “Paris is the best team I have faced this season. They only changed two players compared to the team that started (during the match in October), but they have such cohesion, they circulate the ball well, their pace is so good … They were much better in October. To be honest, they impressed me a lot. They have a good coach and top quality players. They have a lot of offensive threats. In the middle, they are able to keep the ball very well. They make you run and I think nobody likes to run behind the ball. It was hard to find spaces. They put several players around me, they defended well. I hope I can find more spaces in the return match. »»
