The Champions League semi-finals against PSG are looming heavily for Arsenal. Honestly, it’s almost impossible to think about anything else.
The PSG is clearly in great form, but what’s good for Arsenal is that they don’t need anyone to fear now. Why are they?
They just beat Real Madrid. They took on 15 winners and hit them comprehensively over 180 minutes.
They went to the Bernabeu. There, it seemed everyone in the Real Madrid Lemontadas were hoping they would roll.
If you can do that against Madrid, why worry about others?
That’s not to say this isn’t an incredibly tough semi-final. Of course, that’s true. PSG is currently a better side than Madrid.
They are full of confidence and are already knocking out two Premier League teams on their way to Final 4, including champion Electric Riverpool.
So Arsenal has to be at their best to beat them.
Mikel Arteta’s side has memories of a comfortable 2-0 victory against Paris at the beginning of the season, so it should stand for them in a good place.
PSG is a very different team from the team that was brushed to the sides very easily in October with the Emirates, but the way Arsenal physically dominated that night was very comprehensive.
However, Ousmane Dembele had not played in that game, but the French champions have since added Khvicha Kvaratskhelia. Both of these players will be such a threat to Arsenal.
They’re two that really bother me, but Arsenal is very good defensively. If William Saliba and Julientimber can keep quiet, then Mikel Arteta’s side is very likely to have a second leg advantage over France.

Arsenal fans wondering how to buy tickets for Arsenal and PSG may also want to note that Mikel Arteta asked him to prepare to make some noise for his team on Tuesday night.
“I want to tell the fans that we have to play all the ball with us against PSG,” the Spanish tactician said at his press conference.
“Bring your boots, thin pads, shorts and a t-shirt! Let’s play together on a Tuesday night and have the most amazing night in Emirates.”
