Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal faced off this Tuesday at Emirates Stadium in the semi-finals of the Champions League 2024-2025 (return on May 7). The match ended in a 0-1 Parisian victory (video highlights Arsenal/PSG). After the match, England coach Mikel Arteta spoke to CBS Sports Golazo.
Arteta “We have to go to Paris and win the game.”
What has changed since October’s 2-0 victory ?
It’s half-time, as I said after the win against Real Madrid. We have to go to Paris and win the game. The differences were very small today. They started better for 2 reasons.
The first was that they were able to get out of the pressing with their passes and their talent. Then we were able to solve some problems and our team got stronger and stronger. Then there were the goalkeepers and their efficiency, which made the difference.
Arteta “We’re going to change, review things.”
Have PSG made any progress since October ?
It’s clear that they’re regular, they arrive in April with all their players available and fit.
Are the fans essential to the return to the Parc ?
Of course, always. We’ll always have the mentality to win. We’re going to change a few things. We’ll have to be more effective in both areas. Like when they played against Liverpool and Aston Villa.
