SAKA INSPIRES TEAM WITH CAPTAIN’S SPEECH
Before the match, Bukayo Saka, who captained the team in the absence of Martin Ødegaard, revealed the motivating speech he gave to his teammates, emphasizing the importance of the game and the team’s potential.
CARRAGHER PRAISES ARSENAL’S PERFORMANCE
Football pundit Jamie Carragher offered high praise for Arsenal’s performance against a formidable opponent like PSG. Speaking on CBS Sports after the match, he commented, “I think in terms of the name of the club and with the players that they’ve had in the past, I think when you’re looking at the team 11 v 11, it’s still a good win. But I still think and credit Arsenal for this. I think when you think Arsenal are home to PSG, I think very few people will think PSG will go there to win right now, and that’s not criticising PSG.”
This victory marks a significant moment for Arsenal as they look to build momentum in their Champions League campaign
