Arsenal icon Paul Merson has shared his tactical advice for Paris Saint-Germain ahead of their Champions League final clash against the Gunners. The match is scheduled for Saturday night in Budapest.
In a recent column on Sportskeeda, Merson emphasized that PSG’s best chance to secure victory lies in preventing Arsenal from scoring the opening goal. He argued that once Arsenal takes the lead, their defensive organization becomes nearly impossible to penetrate.
Merson noted that even if PSG adopts a defensive approach, similar to their second-leg strategy against Bayern Munich, their attacking trio remains superior to Arsenal’s lineup. He stated that Arsenal cannot match the firepower of PSG’s front three, regardless of their efforts.
According to Merson, the key for PSG is to strike first and put Arsenal on the back foot. He believes that if Arsenal concedes early, they will struggle to recover against a team with such formidable offensive weapons.
