The Arsenal VS PSG was disappointed, but the tie has not yet ended

It was a truly frustrating night for Arsenal against Paris Saint -Germain.

There was a lot of excitement, expectation and expectation before the game, given what happened against Real Madrid, but all things were somewhat flat.

I know that there was a lot of talking about the air, but the stadium was bounced completely before the start of the match, I am not sure that I heard it out loud.

But the early goal seemed to explode the bubble. I absorbed life from the place and things do not go again.

PSG was excellent in this opening half an hour. It is clear that the goal gave them a real batch early and gave Arsenal the most difficult test conducted by any team this season.

To be fair to Arsenal, I thought they had returned themselves to the game after that and everything was beautiful even from that point onward.

They could have easily obtained the level of themselves, but Gianluigi Donnarumma canceled two wonderful memorization of their denial. One of Lendro TroSard in the second half was very cool.

But at the other end, Paris Saint -Germain could have extended its progress with late chances of Berradley Barcola and Jonalo Ramos, so things could have been worse for Arsenal.

The truth is that they are still in this tie and this is something they must stick to. They have an incredibly difficult task in Paris next week, but if they can go to Bernabeu and win, they can go to Parc De Prinles and do the same.

They will have Thomas Partey available and it will be really important.

His absence was huge last night. I believed that Diklan Rice played well in the role of the Holding, but Arsenal had missed his energy and the breakdown box.

I saw how Paris Saint -Germain struggled to deal with him when he went forward to prepare an opportunity for Lotrosard, but unfortunately he was not able to do that enough because he had to stay deeper than he usually did.

So when I look at how Arsenal can manage things next week, I think Partey’s return and Rice moved to the eight -left round may be pivotal. Mikel Merino can also return to the role of the attacker, which will give Arsenal a little more than a physical presence around the penalty area.

It will be difficult now for Arsenal. There is no doubt about it.

I really felt that they needed something to take with them at the second station. It was a similar story in the Carabau Cup semi -final when they lost at home against Newcastle in the first match.

They were unable to turn things on that occasion, and it is difficult to see them doing this time in Paris.

But they have a chance. It did not end. But as McCill Arta said after that, to reach the final, they will have to do something very special in the French capital.

Arsenal should have been in all parts of Hvicha, expiation

KHVICHA KVARATSKHELIA is a private player.

There are not many attackers who can make Gorian wood look uncomfortable, but Kvaratskhelia certainly did so in half an hour in the Emirates.

It is difficult to look at the offers he made since moving to Paris and not thinking about what it might be for Arsenal if they pushed to drop in the pavilion when it became available in Naples.

At that time, I said that Arsenal should have been everywhere and nothing changed my opinion about it.

But in order to be fair to Arsenal, I think Paris Saint -Germain did a lot of behind the scenes on Kvaratskhelia, as it was a deal that was already done. Matthew was instead, he would end up in Paris.

Certainly it has been proven to be an excellent part of their work.

I just love watching it. The way he plays, and the way he loves to run on his back. It is just a suitable suite, a player gets your feet whenever he gets the ball.

It would be a great addition to the Premier League, and I know that Liverpool was said to be keen to drop.

But Paris Saint -Germain quickly moved behind the scenes to make sure it was at the forefront of the waiting list, so I was not very surprised that the clubs here did not pay for it. I think they were well aware that he was going to Paris.

Kenan Yildiz is associated with Arsenal, but this is what I will sign instead …

Arsenal will be linked to many wings before the summer window, with Kenan Yildiz, one of the latest names that do tours.

I must say it is not something I heard about myself, so I can’t confirm whether there is any real interest there, but I will be surprised if it is among the priorities.

Niko Williams will remain the first choice of Michael Artita. It was last summer and I think it would be again this time.

We will have to wait and see if it will be open to getting away with Bilbao. He chose to stay last year, sports president Ernesto Valverde, who has already registered, saying that Williams would do the same thing this summer.

Personally, my choice will be Eberechi Eze. I think it’s perfect for Arsenal and what they need.

It can play widely, or can play more centrally and provide more creative sparks in those areas. He loves a shot from afar, something that Arsenal needs to do more.

I watched EZE destroying Aston Villa in the FA Cup semi -finals last week, and I can only imagine him doing the same in a arsenal shirt.

I really hope this will be something to be seen when opening the window.

Arsenal will definitely not sign another Chelsea

I know that Christopher Nicco has been linked with Arsenal recently, but I don’t see that happening.

I am not sure that the Arsenal fan base can take the club to sign another player from Chelsea to be honest.

He is a good player and may not play enough in Chelsea to be able to show all his qualities, but I do not see him as the striker that Arsenal needs to move them to the next level.

The last thing they need is to bring Chelsea player disappointed by another hope for shape and confidence. The last Raeem Steling should be this type of signature.

So this transfer link is not a link I see anywhere.
