On Tuesday night, Paris Saint-Germain will take on Arsenal at Emirates Stadium in a highly anticipated Champions League match. PSG coach Luis Enrique has nothing but praise for Arsenal, calling them "one of the best teams in Europe" during a pre-match press conference. He also commended Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta for the job he has done since taking over at the Emirates.
Last season, Arsenal secured their spot in the Champions League with a second-place finish in the Premier League, narrowly missing out on the English title to Manchester City for the second year in a row. While they were eager for a strong start to their group stage campaign, they were held to a goalless draw against Atalanta earlier this month. Despite this, Arsenal's goalkeeper David Raya was able to keep the scoreline even with a remarkable double save from a penalty.
Next up for Arsenal is a tough test against Ligue 1 giants PSG, who suffered a painful defeat in the semi-final stage of the Champions League last season. Enrique is expecting an intriguing clash between the two teams, who both have a unique style of play. He also mentioned that he is looking forward to catching up with his former teammate Arteta, who he played with for a season at Barcelona.
Enrique's team selection for this match has caused some controversy, as he has dropped Ousmane Dembele from the squad. This decision caught Arteta by surprise, as rumors have been circulating about a heated altercation between Enrique and Dembele after PSG's victory over Rennes last Friday. When asked about the situation, Enrique stated that he stands by his decisions and is fully committed to creating a team with a clear identity.
He also hopes to avoid the situation becoming a distraction for his team, saying "there is no dispute between the two of us, that is totally false." Despite the challenges, Enrique is focused on the task at hand and has the support of the PSG management to create a successful team.
As for Arteta and Arsenal, they enter the match on the back of a 4-2 win over Leicester and are determined to secure a victory against PSG. With a strong team and a clear identity, Arteta has helped Arsenal once again become a club that competes for titles. Both coaches have a mutual respect for each other and Enrique is looking forward to catching up with Arteta before the match.
In the end, both teams are focused on the game and are not letting any distractions get in their way. Enrique hopes to avoid any further drama and maintain a positive team atmosphere, while Arteta is determined to continue Arsenal's success. It will be an exciting match to watch as these two top teams battle it out on the field.
