Author of 11 goals and 14 assists in 33 games this season despite a long absence due to an ankle injury, Bukayo Saka is the number one offensive danger in Arsenal. And this evening, the 23-year-old English winger will surely want to make up for the Parc des Princes on the occasion of the semi-final return of the Champions League against Paris Saint-Germain after the loss of the first leg at the Emirates (0-1). Rather well muzzled to go, Saka is one of the men on which Mikel Arteta counts to make the difference.
Questioned by Skysportsthe Gunner also explained that everything was possible for his team. “I think it is important to stay calm, but it is obvious that we know that we still have progress to make and I think we are going to show it in Paris, and I am convinced that we can overthrow the situation. It is obvious that we are a little frustrated and disappointed. But, as I said, the most important thing is to stay calm. It's far from finished ”.
“”When they don't play against me, I like to watch them play»»
The Englishman promises a great battle at PSG, but he did not hesitate to pay tribute to the Luis Enrique band. Starting with the performance of the Parisian defenders who padlocked him to the outward journey. “It was difficult to find spaces. They put a lot of bodies around me. They defended well. I focus on the spaces I can find in the return match ”he said before welcoming the XXL XXL progression of the capital's club between the slap received at the Emirates last October and this semi-final.
“I know that they only changed two players compared to the team they had played against us (in October 2024, editor's note), but they have much more cohesion, fluidity, ball circulation … They were much better. They impressed me a lot, to be honest. They have a good manager. They have high -quality players. They are very threatening in attack. They are high -level players and I have nothing to complain about. I have a lot of respect for them and yes, when they don't play against me, I like to watch them play. »» Hopefully Bukayo Saka will be in front of his television on May 31 and not on the lawn of Munich.
