“On the other hand, I find that this PSG is terrifying because it is capable of suffering and defending well. And that, for me, is a lesson, because I have always seen PSG ultra-dominant. »
PSG favorite against Arsenal

But on what PSG is developing, I see it as the favorite, he asserted. Arsenal, on the other hand, are going to be in a look that they like. They will wait for PSG, they will try to do a bit of what PSG did this evening. But despite everything, I see PSG winning. »
