In the Champions League, Arsenal is presently preparing for the most significant match of the season against Paris Saint-Germain, according to David Raya, who has observed a “significant difference” between the two teams since Arsenal’s earlier season victory.
Arsenal’s current performance in the Premier League appears to serve as a buffer against their ambitions in Europe, where they are two games from a historic final in Munich. Arsenal and PSG will commence their two-legged match at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday. Both teams will be competing to face either Barcelona or Inter Milan in the final in May.
Arsenal faced PSG in the league phase of this year’s competition at the Emirates, and they emerged victorious with a 2-0 score. Arsenal secured a resounding victory in October of last year, with goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka. However, the French champions appear to have undergone a significant transformation.
David Raya elaborates on the manner in which PSG have progressed since their loss to Arsenal. That being said, David Raya has openly discussed PSG’s development in an interview with Amazon Prime. The Spanish goalkeeper immediately remembered their efforts at Villa Park when asked if he had observed much of PSG in the lead up to Tuesday’s first leg.Raya elaborated on the extent to which PSG had improved,
stating, “I believe the second leg against Aston Villa at Villa Park was an extraordinary game.” “Undoubtedly, we faced PSG during the group stages, and I believe that they are now a distinct entity from the team they were at that time.” “I believe they operate in a manner that involves a collective press.
I am familiar with Luis Enrique from the national team and am aware of his approach to working with the players, including his pressing style.” However, there was a significant disparity between the manner in which they pressed us at the time and the manner in which I perceive them pressuring another team, such as Aston Villa.
They were all present simultaneously, and they will continue to play in the same manner, regardless of the outcome or the minute. David Raya draws a comparison between Luis Enrique and Mikel Arteta. Raya, as previously stated, is intimately acquainted with PSG manager
Enrique, and it is possible that he has engaged in discussions with Mikel Arteta regarding the French team’s strategies. And in the same interview, Raya did indeed offer an intriguing comparison of the two managers, elucidating their “high degree of similarity.” Raya stated, “They are very similar in that they are highly analytical in
terms of what we must do to exploit the opponent, and the things they say in the meetings are reflected on the field.””So having a manager like this, knowing that whatever he is telling you and showing you in the meetings on the pitch will happen in the game, it makes you even more focused and alive to what is happening in training that is going to happen in the game.”
The match is extremely precarious, and Arsenal’s scheduling to play Bournemouth in the middle of the tie is not optimal. Following his goal against Manchester United last weekend, Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo made a comment about facing Arsenal with that game in mind.
