Anyway, nothing’s over yet—Arsenal can still turn this around… they just need to believe!
Arsenal has what it takes to overcome this tie, especially with Partey back in midfield, but they really have to dig in and be ready for it. they need to take the midfield completely away from PSG nd nullify the attack completely otherwise they wont be getting to the final.
The first 25 minutes were boring because Arsenal were weak in attack, possibly due to the early goal they conceded, but toward the finish, they were pressuring PSG. Even as Arsenal played a fantastic game, they would still lose to PSG if they play in the second league like they did yesterday. This is because PSG's defense isn't as strong as Arsenal's, but it was easier for them to mark Arsenal players because only Bukayo was attacking and almost all of the passes went to his side. If Partey returns I hope there will be a lot of changes in the second league.
I agree with your analysis. Arsenal did struggle in the first 25 minutes after the early goal, but they improved significantly towards the end of the game, putting pressure on PSG. However, as you mentioned, if they approach the second leg in the same way, it could be difficult for them. PSG’s defense may not be the strongest, but their ability to neutralize Arsenal’s attack—especially with Bukayo being their main outlet—was evident.
With Partey back, Arsenal should have a much stronger midfield presence, which is key to breaking PSG's rhythm and creating more balanced attacks. They’ll need to spread their play across the field and involve more players to avoid becoming too predictable. If they can regain control of the midfield and keep PSG's attack in check, there’s still hope for a turnaround in the second leg.
