Arsenal news: Gunners need to be ‘clinical’ against ‘scary’ PSG

If they want to make it through to the Champions League final, Arsenal are going to have to “dig deeper than we ever have before”, says Gunners fan Joel Beya.

Arsenal are in the semi-finals of the competition for the first time in 16 years, but if they want to reach their first final in Europe’s top cup competition since their only other appearance in 2006, they need to turn around the 1-0 aggregate scoreline in Paris.

Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast, Beya said: “PSG are a very, very good side. When you look across the board – their midfielders with Joao Neves, Vitinha – they were causing us problems throughout. If you see the first goal, they just tore through our midfield like wet tissue – it was unbelievable.

“They have a world-class goalkeeper too and that is the thing – you have to be clinical.

“If [Leandro] Trossard scores his chance then we are right back in it, or [Mikel] Merino is not offside then we are right back in it. Now we have to go to PSG and with their incredible fans, it is going to be a difficulty task and we need to dig deeper than we ever have before.

“But, we need to score goals. Dembele and Doue are scary so it is difficult, it really is.

“You have to be [still confident we can win], because if you are at this stage of the competition and just there to participate then you might as well just go home now.”
