But if that goal obviously hadn't gone in and they were just feeling their way into the game and then Kane scores that goal, then it goes to extra time, etc.

That's the way that they play.

Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

It's the way that they scored so many of their goals in the league and in the Champions League.

But even just a couple of yards or just know that players like that, they're obviously full of energy in the first few minutes.

Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

They can spin and just, if you've got that much open space and you're any of those elite players, you're thriving off it.

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

Yeah, no, I do think that overall they played well, but I also agree that they played well overall, but they were up against a side who were able to nullify them a little bit.

Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

And if they're playing against a team in the Bundesliga who are sitting in, they've got the individual quality to still unlock that because the gap of quality in the Bundesliga for a lot of the teams is quite big.

pressing really high but also sitting in as well and playing more of a deep block they were just as we said before they were getting frustrated with the fact that they just weren't able to exploit that space and Diaz and Alisa on either side Kane less so because he can drop into sort of different pockets and drop deep but those two thrive off space they thrive off 1v1 battles and winning them and when they're doubled up on when PSG were forming a back five at times and when they're crossing it into a congested penalty area that frustration builds and builds and builds

The Nuno Mendes one is kind of irrelevant almost because it was the Conrad Leimer handball that was identified by, I think, the... But was that even a handball?

Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

Yeah, I mean, that was...

Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

I think at that point it had already been given.

I think it did go a little bit onto his right arm, and then by that point it did make the subsequent handball that everyone... And I don't think there was too much in the replay about that.

The Totally Football Show with James Richardson
Can Arsenal do the Champions League + Premier League double?

I've watched the highlights since, and they haven't pointed back towards the fact that it was a handball initially by Conor Lyma, which makes the whole thing irrelevant.

So I think there's mitigation for that one.
