And I think it would have made for a more interesting game if Arsenal hadn't scored so early.
I think all of us...
pre-game were wondering about what kind of tactics Arsenal would adopt.
And you think back to the game against Manchester City at the Etihad a few weeks ago, when Arsenal really flew out of the traps and pressed City really aggressively, caused them an awful lot of problems in the opening half hour.
I don't think we would have seen them going after PSG in quite the same way.
But you saw even before Kai Havertz scored that there was...
There was a desire to get on the front foot.
You know, it wasn't a full pitch press, but they were, you know, Arsenal's attacking players were on the edge of the PSG penalty area.
And then they score a goal that just falls into their laps and they have to change their approach.
So, you know, I think PSG would always have had more of the ball because that is such a big part of their identity.
But Arsenal scoring so early...
And then I think inevitably changing their approach as a consequence of that just meant that, you know, we ended up with these slightly absurd possession statistics.
But I agree with Art, you know, it's difficult to see how Arsenal could have gone about that differently.
You have to be so careful and that, you know, Arsenal were walking a tightrope and, you know, for most of the time they walked it pretty skillfully.
And, you know, ultimately it came down to extremely fine margins as we saw in the penalty shootout.
Yeah, I mean, it was one of those that I think if the referee had given it, the VAR would not have intervened and overturned it.
Instinctively, it looked like a penalty.
But then as soon as you started seeing the replays, you saw the fact that they were in this tangle.
They had their arms locked together.
It wasn't completely clear cut.
