So Arsenal should have took real encouragement from that.
The only thing I would say about Arsenal at the time is that TenkapΓ© was...
was injured.
He was just, he was so vulnerable there.
I couldn't, I couldn't understand why PSG didn't sense that and really go at him as such.
They did in that one occasion where they got him and he got to the byline and Arsenal cleared the danger.
But yeah, it's amazing, isn't it?
I mean, they're just the fine margins, aren't they?
In a game of that magnitude, do you take advantage of those kinds of opportunities that present themselves?
And I think maybe Arsenal probably will look back on it and watch it and think him,
Yeah, after really hanging on towards the end of the 90 minutes, they did look like the momentum again kind of swung a little bit their way because just basic balls hit up to those front two were causing a few problems.
Having said that, though, goalkeeper didn't have many saves to make at all.
I don't even think he made one.
they didn't actually get that many corners, certainly in the first half.
Second half, I think they got a couple more, but they didn't seem to put that goalkeeper under pressure because Donnarumma, in those kind of semi-final games against Paris last season, was the difference, kept his team in it.
Arsenal would have beaten Paris and got to the final himself, but for Donnarumma.
So,
I was surprised that they didn't really get at it more than they did.
I certainly don't think it's a quality issue for Saka.
I think he'd be challenging to get into any team in world football.
