Wednesday evening, PSG will play its most important match of the season, welcoming Arsenal for the semi-finals return from the Champions League.
After his victory (0-1) last week at the Emirates, the capital's club is in the ideal position at the forefront of this confrontation in the Parc des Princes. It remains to be seen how Luis Enrique will approach the meeting on the tactical level.
“What is interesting in the Champions League is that each time, before starting the return match, you have a mental problem to solve. That of Paris Saint-Germain is to know if they play to win this match or if they play to protect their advantage and take them in counterattack ”, analyzed Arsène Wenger on BeIN Sports.
PSG must respect its DNA
And the former Manager of the Gunners, who was present at the Emirates in the first leg, to continue: “You must be very clear in your message to the team, knowing that all players will not necessarily agree with you. If they decide: 'Okay, we must protect our advantage', it is a bit contrary to the DNA of the team. Luis Enrique has already come to tell us 'We have another match to win', and I believe that with the final in mind, knowing that you are playing at home, it will be very difficult to have a passive attitude ”.
According to the statistician OPTA, PSG is now the favorite club for the final victory in the Champions League. The men of Luis Enrique have 41.6% to lift the cup to the big ear, against only 11.2% for the Gunners.
