This should be a very close game, think the overall tie will be decided by the odd goal but in the first leg because of the way they play, I am expected them to come at us all night to take a cushioned result back rather than trying to nick a 1 nil, feels like a score draw game or either side taking an odd goal lead into the second leg, PSG are levels above the Madrid team we played and the PSG side we already faced here earlier in the seasons in the groups, a draw would feel like a defeat as it'd be a tall order in the Parc De Prince to get a win. Will need another big performance from Rice who will be key. 2-2 or 2-3 Arsenal.
Kind Regards.

They play without a goal keeper we play without a center forward!
Good luck to arsenal over the two legs they deserve to be European champions at some stage
think they do at times
They played with 4 wingers against Villa! Fantastic attacking full backs but can they defend Captain. Pacho cannot!

PSG are great to watch when in attack when things are going their way. Put them under pressure, and it's a different story. I think if Arsenal get any kind of win tonight they can frustrate PSG in the 2nd leg and go through. Liverpool should have beaten them, imo.
Not just in attack ..... passing the ball around at the back agaist Villa in the second leg game me heart palpitations and I wasn't even invested! Tremendously exciting
So who has got money on Arsenal winning tonight?
Should be a good watch this with a few goals thrown in.
did he kick that on to his right leg to deflect it in ?
It’s great being an expert!
At least I was smart enough not to bet on it!
C’mon Astro let go lad!

nice to see EPL table doesn't lie and arsenal just pretty **** arnt they
is this the same martinelli arsenal were desperate to get back and his absence cost them the LG,or the one the rest of us new/no is FOOKING rubbish most of the time
reff putting English reffs/players to shame and shearer thinks he,s useless,trossard stopping a break was a yellow all day long,brilliant spot to see PSG defender getting ball and not going for the PSG dive,but shearer thinks he,s ****
its not the reffs problem if trossard had given himself a tricky 75 mins by getting an early booking
How timber has not been booked is beyond me .nap we wont see after ht
Arsenal have to get their act together or this will be 2 or 3 nil
Arsenal very lucky to be 1-0 down imho
Need to sort out their midfield. I like Seedorf and Rooney. Both spot on.

Clearley off and still took an age,wan ky pundits could have called it ffs
As pro are you watching on Amazon or listening on radio. I am well behind you
i gave up on Amazon Prime after going round in circles for 25 minutes. Could not get it to play the match. 
feck knows why
feck knows why
the madness of 6 players standing offside thinking your all going to get back onside.never getting away with it since VAR
Neither strike was clean but still got down well
Donnarumma is huge, broke Englush hearts so many times this season
Arsenal are poor atm. Cannot keep the ball but anything can happen
PSG can be got at in front of their own fans, but you sense that Arsenal need an equaliser. Wouldn't fancy their chances if going to Paris a goal down.
sick to death week in week week out arsenal players managers winding the crowd,just do something on the pitch to wind them up instead of sending them to sleep,absolutely nothing up front,saka AWOL as usual

Agreed
That miss might be costly. Arsenal not at the races today.
AH well, at least a PSG vs Barcelona Final should be a good watch.
They'll always let you down when it comes to the crunch. Bit like their neighbours down the road.
hard to believe arsenal have kept their next so called super star on the bench watching this garbage for 90 mins,offered absolutely nothing up front,no idea at all
fancy needing a coach to tell you to punt a corner in the box 100,000 players do every Sunday morning ,most of them full of curry and a dozen pints from the night before 
Arsenal just beat a couple of muppets, and some had them down as the new messiahs.
Arsenal very lucky to be 1-0 down halfway through this tie. They got away with it tonight. Lewis’s Shelley would have been better as the holding midfielder, he has the intelligence. Nwaneri should have come on earlier. Can’t complain . Should have been 2-0
PSG were excellent and should have been more positive and gone for the jugular. Arsenal were there for the taking tonight. Partey was a huge miss and next week he might be the difference in Arsenal keeping the ball and possibly doing something with it.

Not really.
PSG created 4 decent chances and scored 1. That's about the what you'd expect.
Arsenal created a couple of better ones and didn't score.
0-1 was fair enough.

No way!
PSG might just rue their missed chances. They held too much back. Should have killed this off. Hopefully it will not be more of the same. PSG by far the better team and better organised. Almost happy to be only 1-0 down.

If they hadn't held back then maybe Arsenal get more chances
Abysmal stuff, didn't turn up. Blessed to be 1-0.
PSG are not as good as they were made look, Arsenal still have a chance if they put in a quality performance in the return leg, but I wouldn't fancy it.
Couldn't even muster up 10 minutes of the intensity Villa did against them or even threaten them once from a set-piece.
The whole team and fans had the stuffing knocked out of them with the early goal and didn't show any fight. Looked like Arsenal were happy to take the 1-0 the way they played the last 10 mins.

Yep, took them 25/30 mins to get going.
1 up and you're nervy going there, but one down
that's not a factor, Partey back might make
a difference too.

Odegaard was the worst of the lot. Physically and mentally weak, needs replacing. Pulling out of 50-50s all night and he's the captain! Awful set-piece delivery too but I think the players didn't get back onside before the ball was played for most of them, like the Merino 'goal', weren't flagged because the delivery was cleared by the first man. Arsenal have been cráp at set-pieces since Saka got injured months ago.
Rice, Raya, Skelly were decent, that's about it.

Arteta has never been much more than a poor man's Guardiola. His failure to bring home the bacon once again confirms this. Arsenal need to bring in someone like Diego Simeone. He'd tighten up the Arsenal midfield and defence plus he wears black so much better than Arteta.
Arsenal don't actually play much open football, if they can help it. Shearer summed it up after their second last attack when the ref played advantage and Martinelli panicked and blazed high and wide: "The fans wanted a free kick, the players would have preferred it too." And Arsenal fans are awful, aren't they?
100% bar room lawyers, as soon as their team is faced with a setback, the reedy whining starts. All in all, on the pitch and in the stands, PSG showed them up.

Skelly just wanted to dive. Obviously being drilled into him early. Free kicks and cornetz is all we care about is the message.
Fair play to PSG. They saw sense and ditched the unholy trinity of Messi, Mbappe and Neighmar. They are now reaping the rewards. 
So much diving going on in the modern game. It must be being coached.
Get touched, dive on to the ball, grab hold of the ball.

Of course it's being coached. Has been for decades.
Naysayers!
Not an Arteta fan but we are 1-0 down at half time after playing terribly. Things can change it’s not all over yet.
Lest we forget before Gabriel and Saliba came back off loan spells? How many years?
Before Declan Rice, how many years?
Ok we still don’t have a centre forward for how many years?
Arsenal are making progress.
Let’s see what Santa brings this summer.
The tie is not over and we are not the finished article. If anything we should be grateful PSG decided not to win the tie on the night and have left the door slightly open.

Of course they're in with a chance at 0-1. Only a fool would say otherwise. Will be tough and they need to be on top of their game, but impossible doesn't come into the equation. Will be watching the second leg in the comfortable position of not giving a fk. Manicurists in Holloway and surrounding areas will not be open for a week after. No point.
Football is not my religion. I just want to see a good game, Arsenal play well and win. They have it in them. A lot will be put on Partey now but he has the ability not just to patrol but break the press.
Plenty of long ball availing the right. They may have to sit deeper and bring Arsenal on if their press is broken. If Arsenal have the ball they have a chance. They kept giving it away yesterday

I bumped into an Arsenal fan on my dog walk this morning.. He seemed thoroughly depressed, I sympathised and told him not to give up hope.. (Giggling inside 
). The Sus's out, it's just one of those glorious days to be alive!

I would say that there is little point in adopting an S Club Seven piece of choreography before a free kick if you then can't get yourselves back onside before the ball is played.
Someone told me the other day, Party isn't allowed to play in Spain, something to do with him being linked to all these rapes... Not sure it's 100% true but wouldn't surprise me.
No one is suggesting Arteta and his lads aren't still in with a shout. It's a funny old game etc etc. No one gave Manchester United a chance when they went to Turin to play Juventus in the 1999 Champions League the semi final. No one needs reminding how that eventually panned out.
Partey played in Madrid, he got his suspension in that game.
Oh!.. Maybe Madrid is more lax on rapists? 
or maybe someone's throwing fake news at me

The Spain allegations were from a UK woman, she didn't report it to the Spanish cops or get swabbed, she waited to return to the UK and reported it to the UK police. I doubt the SPanish cops have any interest in him whatsoever.
Another woman was his ex-wife who he was going thru a nasty breakup/divorce with and made an allegation, again with zero evidence as she said it happened some time beforehand and didn't report it. He converted to Islam as she is Muslim and changed his name to Yakubu and he's since unconverted and married an English girl and has a kid with her.
If you feel it smart to jump to the conclusion of guilt in cases like that then off you go. The nearly always come from jilted women who the player is about to break up with.

Relax lurka, dunno what's come over you lately..
I haven't jumped to any conclusions but you're sounding like a rapist defender.. imo.

PSG have got Arsenal sussed; Mendes + A.N.Other on Saka and don't given Skelly etc the opportunity to dive and the job's a good'en.
As bets go, this one looks very missable
Bet356 doing a top scorer in the Champions league market
Top bloke, team gone out, on 13
2 barca players next on 11 and 12...definitely 2,possibly 3 games to go
Saka on 5, Arsenal probably 1 game, possibly 2 to go... 1000/1... To score 8 plus
Yeah I know it's a big price. And I don't mind a big price... But???

I would exempt Saka from the general observation that Arsenal players won't back themselves in open-play football (hence the diving, playing for set-piece deliveries etc). His goal at the Bernebau was a thing of beauty.
I presume you're on the windup Emit with that last post.
If not you are a complete halfwit.

read about the Tifo pre match. That thing was a disgrace and a shambles. Imagine CL semi at home for a club who do not win much in their recent past and they unveil that ffs
Yes, all that fuss about a tifo and reduced to whimpering children after 3 mins

What were the odds for that game ? I doubt nobody gave them a chance
Juventus were sitting in 6th position in Serie A at the time, scoring only 34 goals in 30 games and had come through the group stages winning 1 game and drawing 5, they couldn't beat Galatasaray and Bilbao at home and limped past Olympiakos in the quarters, United were going for a treble. Maybe Juve were still favourites but I doubt nobody was giving United them a chance.
Arsenal can turn this tie around though but Odegaard is the biggest issue, he's been a passenger since his return from injury offering nothing and ducking out of 50/50 challenges probably to avoid getting injured again. I can see it going to penalties. PSG are not better than us when we're at out best, but atm they are just far more intense earlier on in games whereas we grow into a late and that was basically the difference here.
I thought Arteta's pre match, tik-tok call to arms was embarrassing, I'd expect that maybe in a final, but even then it was a cringy. He's reached a crossroads now, he needs to win something big either this season or next, or next will definitely be his last. I wouldn't mind Klopp coming in at all, used to call for him to be the Arsenal manager before he even went to Liverpool. Though I doubt he's want to manage another English club now.
Kind Regards.
At 8.4 to lift the CL trophy Arsenal are a safe lay. Full bank job.
