If you ask Arsenal's defenders, Gabriel and Saliba, to play in that PSG team or that Bayern team, they would be exposed as much as those centre-backs were last night.
Because effectively, the attackers were on top.
Then you ask the question, how many defenders were actually on the pitch last night?
Because none of the full-backs have no interest in defending.
They're like wingers.
And I've seen Saliba and Gabriel in an open game in that League Cup semi-final doubleheader against Newcastle last season get torn apart by Izak.

They opened the door to the public gallery and I would say about 30 to 40 people all came in.
They all slotted through the door and they all sat down.
And throughout the actual sentencing, so to explain a sentencing typically lasts around about 45 minutes an hour, a judge is reading a pre-prepared statement, which we refer to as the sentencing remarks.
And there was a mix of emotions when they were reading the details about how Natalie died and the brutal and sustained attack that Stephen McCullough committed on her.
There was quite a few people crying visibly in the gallery.
When the judge decided that he was going to be serving 31 years in prison before he's considered for release by the parole board,
There was almost a silence.
There was an eeriness.
And I think it was complimented by the fact that Stephen McCullough showed no reaction.
You could feel the air, though, sort of lift in the room when it was this sort of, well, this is over.
And I'm sure we'll touch upon it, which is that it's not really over for the McNally family.
But in terms of the reaction in court, there was an eerie silence, but you could tell that they were thankful.
No, to explain, so he was sat in the dock the entire time and the entire time he looked almost bored.
