PSG was the better team in that match and I don't expect Arsenal to win in France. Luis Enrique's side would have scored more goals if not that they were unlucky, and Arsenal also had a good goalkeeper in the name of David Raya. But the best goalkeeper in that game was Gianluigi Donnarumma. The Italian had five clean saves that would have been clear goals. When people say that Arsenal strikers were wasteful, they fail to see that PSG have a sound goalkeeper. But the second leg will not be easy because I think Arsenal will not be an easy team to win.

There are some friends who are very confident that Arsenal will win today. But it may not be up to your expectations. Even I was quite surprised to see the play of Dembele and friends. They are very different, even the EPL's fast style of play does not seem to cope with PSG's possession. PSG played effectively with one or two touches. In fact, I read in the media that Arteta also admitted that PSG's game was extraordinary.

Maybe PSG's 1-goal difference is not big, there is still a chance for Arsenal to catch up in France. But if you look at the pattern of play today and there is no change for Arsenal I think it will be more difficult. I'm sure there are still opportunities because UCL always presents surprises. But remember leg 2 is diferent because Arsenal goes to France and i think many preasure from a lot suporters.

You're absolutely right—PSG's performance surprised many, and their quick, precise passing completely disrupted Arsenal’s usual rhythm. The way they transitioned with just a few touches showed serious tactical discipline, and Arteta acknowledging PSG’s brilliance says a lot.

The one-goal margin still leaves room for a comeback, but it will demand a drastically different performance from Arsenal. Playing at Parc des Princes is never easy, especially with the crowd behind PSG. Arsenal must improve their pressing and avoid being overwhelmed in midfield again. Donnarumma’s performance was world-class, and unless Arsenal finds a way to test him differently, it might be another frustrating night for their attackers. Still, UCL nights often surprise us—if Arsenal can find their courage and composure, it's not over yet.
