Arsen Wenger, who led Arsenal in the past, said Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) played better.

Britain's "Metro" reported on the 8th (Korea Standard Time) that "Wenger disagreed with Arteta's claim that Arsenal was a better team."

Arsenal lost to PSG 1-2 in the second round of the UCL semifinals of the 2024-25 season at the Parc des Princes, located in Paris, France, at 4 a.m. on Saturday. Arsenal failed to advance to the final with the combined score of 1-3.

PSG took the lead. Fabian Lewis' shot penetrated the Arsenal goal in the 27th minute of the first half. He also missed the opportunity to score an additional goal. He got a penalty kick in the 20th minute of the second half, but Vitinha's shot was blocked. Nevertheless, PSG rushed to their goal. Ashraf Hakimi added another goal in the 27th minute of the second half. 카지노

Arsenal launched a counterattack. In the 31st minute of the second half, Saka lightly pushed the deflected ball towards the goal after hitting the defender. Afterwards, no additional points were scored, and PSG ended the game with victory.

"Congratulations to PSG on advancing to the finals first. I will make the assessment when you are a little more calm," Arsenal manager Arteta said after the match. "Looking at the two matches, the best player in the stadium was the goalkeeper. He made the decision."

The argument was that Arsenal were the better team. "We had a very close game and throughout the two games we played a lot better than them," Arteta said. "I don't think there is a better team than Arsenal but we are out."

Wenger, however, had a different opinion. "I would like to say that I watched another PSG tonight. They led the game not by possession or spectacular soccer, but by allowing no runs and gaining the upper hand in counterattacks. I would like to say that they were mentally strong as well."

"PSG held on even when they missed the penalty kick. Arsenal repeatedly failed to score a goal. Overall, they performed better than Arsenal in the two matches and secured more chances."

Wenger added, "Congratulations to PSG. I said a long time ago that PSG won't be far away from winning the UCL. Let's not forget that they had a perfect season with a double. It will be a huge success for Luis Enrique, Nasser Al-Khelaifi."
