The game where “STAT” goes against “SCORE”

Overall, throughout the 90 minutes of this game, Arsenal did not control the momentum of the game much, except for the first 20-25 minutes of the game when they had periods of possession that set the pace of the game. However, the remaining time was the away team that did better, controlling the entire game, collecting a lot of second balls, but in the end the problem was the goals that they did not create much, and they were not sharp either, and that was the source of the defeat in this game.

“Winged” cannon

In the first 45 minutes, Arsenal played an attacking game that was able to create decisive opportunities. A very important part was that Bukayo Saka had space to play and made him someone who created a lot of attacking games for the team when he had the opportunity. This part was an important factor in winning this game and is a system that the Gunners have used throughout the past few years.

The collaboration between “Havertz – Trotsar”

The two have been playing together seriously for the past few games, with the other players limited by injuries, Arsenal have deployed them as a creative attacking pair, switching up and down the pitch, and the more they play the more they understand each other’s game, leading to the first goal of the game that was a crucial turning point, which came from a cross to a meeting point that required a great understanding of each other’s game.

Defense leads to victory (again)

In the second half, Arsenal were in a situation where they had to play defensively for almost the entire 45 minutes, as PSG were able to control the game more and create 10 chances, but only 2 were on target. That came from the excellence of Arsenal’s defense, who helped each other today from the top of the field, and today the defense did not make any mistakes. Furthermore, this Arsenal defense is one of the areas where players can alternately use different positions, an area that has both quantity and quality at the same time.  

Today, the Gunners moved Calafiori to play right-back in the second half due to Timber’s injury, but he was able to play at a satisfactory level despite being heavily attacked. At the moment, Arsenal’s full-back position is considered “various” and flexible, and can be replaced perfectly.
