Maybe this small gap could suddenly become much bigger. Just as many teams have come back from behind in the history of the Champions League, it is also true that Arsenal will be able to make a comeback. Whatever anyone says, Arsenal need a proper striker at the moment. Moreover it is worth noting that Arsenal's counter-attack was not successful, even though Paris Saint-Germain controlled Bukayo Saka very well. I think the giant Italian goalkeeper Donnarumma deserves special respect because it is because of their strong competitive spirit and controlled effort, everyone can see that Paris Saint-Germain is progressing perfectly in the UEFA Champions League.
I was quite surprised to see PSG defeating Arsenal at the Emirates after they eliminated Liverpool few weeks back. tbh, Arsenal was the favorite even though they've struggled in the English premier League in their previous games. They've drew 3 out of their 4 last premier games, but have performed better in the UCl until they met with PSG 2 days back. As far as the league is concerned, there is nothing to fight for.
And as for the UCL game, I don't think the marking of Saka cost them the game. I think it was the absence of Partey. Rice ability to make go runs was a bit limited due to partey's absence. I think Arsenal stands a better chance in the second leg with the presence of all available starting 11. There is nothing to fight for in the English premier League, so Arteta shouldn't risk much when he has a tougher mountain to climb next week.
