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.
Arteta is too cocky Cheesy He doesn't realize PSG isn't like last season.
I think Declan Rice has got semifinal fever.
Arrogance will eat itself and I am glad PSG taught an important lesson that less empty talk but more evidence on the field. Continuing to boast about the match because they managed to beat Real Madrid will only prove that Arteta is not motivated to win against PSG. We will see how far Arsenal can turn things around at the opponent's home.

You’re absolutely right, arrogance can be a double-edged sword. Arteta’s comments about beating Real Madrid might have given Arsenal fans some hope, but PSG’s performance shows just how serious they are this season. They’ve clearly stepped up and are a different side from last year. It’s easy to underestimate a team like PSG, especially after an injury to someone like Dembele, but they have depth and quality throughout.

As for Arsenal, they’ve got a tough road ahead in the second leg, especially needing to overturn that deficit at PSG's home ground. It’s going to be a real test of character, but if they can’t find a way to be more clinical and consistent, their journey might end here.
