As I predicted PSG is stronger than Arsenal, but I thought the first leg Arsenal will not lose (either Arsenal win or draw), since they lose, it means they're bad. Donnarumma made many great saves, few good chances Arsenal made not enough to break the defense. Where's Rice? oh it's already rotten!
Dembele is injured, but I think PSG will be fine because they still have many high quality players.
Maybe Arteta's confidence after the win was a bit strong, that they can beat any team. As yesterday's match with PSG showed, beating anyone is not that easy. Yes, Donnarumma played very well yesterday, he made a lot of saves and definitely saved PSG from a goal. But on the other hand, yesterday I said that I think PSG is a stronger team and I expected them to win this match. And in the return match, I think that PSG will also have the advantage, because they can show an even better game at home. Dembele's injury is very bad, I hope that he recovers quickly and returns to the game.
PSG goalkeeper was outstanding yesterday, there were lots of chances Arsenal would have scored if not for his brilliance, winning Man of the match was a deserving one for him. A lot of us already had it in mind that Arsenal were the better side, but Arsenal was not ready for that early aggression PSG had, you know Arsenal won them at the group stage, so Arsenal came with some level of confidence at first but PSG had to be a bit more aggressive this time around and by the time Arsenal could come into the game fully, PSG already had a goal. Thomas partey's absence in the Arsenal central midfield also had some effect on the team, the good thing is that, the Arsenal team really tried to make sure the goal was just one, so even in the return leg a comeback is likely possible.
You bring up some excellent points. Donnarumma’s performance was truly crucial – he kept PSG in the game with his remarkable saves. Arsenal had some decent chances, but PSG’s early aggression caught them off guard, especially with that goal so early on. The absence of Partey definitely made a difference in Arsenal’s midfield, and I’m sure they’ll look to adjust for the return leg.
I do agree that a comeback is still possible for Arsenal. They’re a strong team, and if they manage to regain control and adapt to PSG’s game plan, they could put up a solid fight. It’s never over until the final whistle!
