So you need your ball players on the pitch against PSG because Pacho and Marquinhos, they're not going to be bullied by any striker.
They're not the biggest strikers in the world, but they're not going to be bullied.
And you definitely need the pace of the likes of Saka to get at Nuno Mendes and put him under pressure.
That's the battle that everyone's probably looking forward to the most, I would say.
If he gets booked early on like he did in the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich,
against Olise like Olise caused him serious problems so Saka not a dissimilar player to Olise probably not as good on the ball but similar in that he can go inside and outside so Arsenal can cause PSG trouble as well they also concede as Barry Murphy was saying on off-ball breakfast this morning like they pointed out that they concede a lot of goals PSG 22 I think to 6 compared to Arsenal in the Champions League this year I know a lot of those were against Bayern in the semi-final but
Yeah, Real Madrid.
But they beat them well as well.
Yeah, Thierry Henry had a famous rant after that game where he just went off script.
He was going to Barcelona the following year.
Was it the following year or maybe the year after?
he was interviewed on the pitch and it's unusual to see a player who loses the final interviewed on the pitch after the game, but he went on this amazing rant about everyone was talking about Ronaldinho, everyone was talking about Ato, everyone was talking about all these different players, but Henrik Larsson, he came off the bench and he changed the game.
I'm like...
I don't think it's the end of the world if they lose this final.
Could also be like a bus and two come at once, having searched for it for so long.
This can happen.
But Luis Enrique, on your point in terms of where this ranks for him, he's also one of two managers to win a travel at two clubs, one at Barcelona, one at PSG.
And again, to add another back-to-back Champions League onto that,
It really just sets him aside as he is.
He hasn't done it as long for a prolonged period as Pep Guardiola has at different clubs but I mean he is definitely up there with the top three best managers of all time.
