Though Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta admitted that his Champions League semi-final game with Paris Saint-Germain will be on a different level, his focus is to reach the final and achieve a historical win.
PSG eliminated Liverpool one of the favourites for the title via 4-1 shootout win in the round of 16, before going ahead holding off a fight back by Aston Villa with a 5-4 aggregate win to book their place in the semi-final against the Gunners who did the unthinkable by beating defending champions Real Madrid home and away on a 5-1 aggregate.
“I watched PSG game against Villa last night. It was a thrilling match. In this competition, anything can happen. They are an exceptional team, and I understand the quality of their manager well.”
“While we have prior experience against them, they have evolved into a formidable side. They are currently on a fantastic run. However, our performance against Real Madrid demonstrates that we can compete with anyone.
“We are determined to reach the final. It will require hard work, but we are confident in our abilities.”
Also, goal scorer Bukayo Saka added: “We can beat the best teams in Europe at home and away, you can see that.
