Run out of puff eventually, but they really caused City problems.
It's interesting the stats you mentioned because you look at the way that PSG coped with the Bayern Munich press in the second leg of the semi-final and they basically just decided not to engage with it at all, not to take any risks.
Matvei Safanov just repeatedly went long with his goal kicks or kicking the ball out of his hand.
The number of kicks that just went straight into touch
Long throws just going down the touchline and players not taking any risks whatsoever.
And that was quite new because, you know, Luis Enrique fundamentally wants control.
He wants possession of the ball in the finest Barcelona traditions.
And that's generally been PSG's approach.
But the way they approached that game against Bayern was really striking.
And I wonder whether it was a recognition of the fact that with this goalkeeper, I mean, not that Donnarumma was great with his feet.
I mean, he was possibly even worse, but...
It is hard for them to build up from the back and they just basically decided not to do that against Bayern.
So there is a risk for Arsenal.
When Arsenal pressed City in that game at the Etihad, City carried on trying to play through them, which was pretty insane when you think about how ropey Donnarumma is with a ball at his feet.
What we saw from PSG against Bayern suggests that if Arsenal press them, they might just go along and they might just decide, well, actually, we're not going to take any risks here because we know how dangerous it is and we know how much it's already hurt us in the competition this season.
Yeah, I mean, PSG have been vulnerable from set pieces in recent years.
I mean, when they got knocked out of the Champions League by Borussia Dortmund in Luis Enrique's first season, they were exposed at set pieces.
They're not a tall team at all.
Neither of their centre-backs are big units, Marquinhos and William Pacho.
You've got players like Fabian Ruiz who add a little bit of height, but a lot of quite small players.
