Arsenal and PSG meet at the Parc de Princes for the return leg of the UEFA Champions League, and all eyes will be on this game.
Following the blockbuster that happened yesterday between Inter and Barca, fans will be watching if Arsenal and PSG can deliver that sort of excitement and importantly, who will join Inter in the final.
Arsenal come into this match 1-0 down against the French champions, and they will be looking to stage a comeback. With Partey back in the side, which will allow more room for Rice to move, the Gunners may just have an edge coming into this game, but then, PSG won’t be an easy team to beat.

The one place the Parisians can take the game away from Arsenal is in the midfield.
PSG’s midfield is a wonder. It has been a revelation this season, and they showed again why they have been feared all season.
Without getting any goal contribution, Vitinha went home with the man of the match award, showing that you don’t need to score or assist to control a game. This type of performance is what PSG will need coming into the second leg.
In the first leg, they allowed spaces to Lewis-Skelly, giving him room to turn and run at them. With Partey back, they can’t allow Arsenal to have that space. They will have to maintain their press and close off any spaces that will give Arsenal a chance at goal.
Their attack is their second biggest weapon. Goals win you games and that’s something the French champions have got in their locker.
The combination of Doué, Kvaratskhelia and Dembele who is back from injury have proved difficult to handle and they will be needed again today. They will need to always keep the Arsenal defense on their toes and also be clinical in front of goal.
They definitely must not switch off like they did against Aston Villa. They nearly lost against Villa at Villa Park and if they do the same against Arsenal, they will be punished severely. This return leg promises to be exciting and we can only hope it delivers as we expect.
