Legendary manager Fabio Capello believes Arsenal have what it takes to beat Paris Saint-Germain in their Champions League semi-final.
The former England boss won the competition with AC Milan in 1994, beating a much-fancied Barcelona team 4-0 in the final, and he says the Gunners have all the qualities required to overcome PSG:
“Arsenal have it all. Quality, balance on the pitch, and good physical condition – just like PSG at the moment. From that perspective, both teams are evenly matched. But right now, I think Arsenal have something extra: quality and physical strength. Both sides have a great team spirit, but Arsenal have a lot of personality. They play together, work hard togethe
“The tempo of their matches is very high. It’s going to be a fantastic match-up, but if I had to bet, I think Arsenal will come out on top. I’ve never seen an English team play this well – aside from [Manchester] City, who are a different case. If we’re talking about the traditional English style, not Guardiola’s version, I find that Arsenal are playing really, really well with technical quality and physical power.”
PSG are no pushovers
It should be pointed out that Luis Enrique’s team battered Premier League champions-elect Liverpool at home (despite losing 1-0) before winning at Anfield to progress through to the quarter-finals. They then beat Aston Villa over two legs.
They are not a side to be trifled with so Arsenal will have to be nigh on perfect if they want to secure their passage to the final.
Arsenal have one advantage over their opponents
With the Crystal Palace game having been brought forward due to the Eagles’ participation in the FA Cup, it means that Mikel Arteta’s men will have nearly a full week’s preparation ahead of the first leg at the Emirates next Tuesday.
In contrast, PSG will be in action on Friday ahead of their trip to London, giving the Gunners a full two days’ extra rest. That could prove to be crucial in a finely balanced contest.
