Before facing PSG, there’s a positive update for Arsenal.
Arsenal couldn’t take advantage of their home ground in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, losing 1-0. To keep their dream of reaching the final alive, they must now secure a victory at PSG’s stadium. However, coach Mikel Arteta remains optimistic and motivated. He told his players that on such a special occasion, they must fight with all their heart.
The second leg will kick off at 1 AM Bangladesh time on Wednesday at PSG’s stadium. If Arsenal wins in Paris, they will reach the final for only the second time in their history.
In an interview with ESPN, Arteta expressed his confidence and excitement, saying they are ready to fight.
“The excitement is building, it’s giving me goosebumps. I’m really looking forward to it, feeling very prepared and confident. I know this is our chance to play in the Champions League final.”
“And when you reach this stage, you should fight with your life to achieve your goal.”
Arsenal has faced numerous injury problems this season, and several key players are still sidelined. Midfielder Thomas Partey, who was suspended for the first leg, will return for this do-or-die match, which is a major boost for the team.
