Enrique shares what PSG need
PSG manager Enrique has shared his thoughts about what his team must get right to ensure they get past Arsenal and play their first UCL final since 2020 under Thomas Tuchel.
“The key to the game will be how we manage different parts of the game. We need to have a hand in all the different elements that will be the most important,” he said as quoted by Sportskeeda.
“I think that all players are important in a squad. No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but I think PSG and Arsenal are very similar teams.
“They are able to attack, defend, and everyone works together. There is not one player that we depend on. They have had players who have been missing from the squad.”
Enrique's side are on course to win a treble this season, having secured the Ligue 1 trophy with four matches to go, are in the French Cup final and have a shot at the Champions League.

Arteta warns Arsenal players
Arsenal boss Arteta has sounded a note of warning to his players to let go of the weight of possibly being the first side in the club's history to win the UCL, same as their opponents.
He admitted that this could affect his players, but he urged them to let go of that burden and express themselves for a chance at history.
“We put so much into it to be in the position that we are. We earn it with our work, with our enthusiasm, because we face a lot of challenges and we managed to compete at the highest level for ten months,” he said as quoted by The Standard.
“So we earn it now. Be present and live the moment. It’s a beautiful moment. Let’s live it and let’s enjoy it.”
Arsenal's realistic chance of silverware this season is the Champions League; otherwise, they will end their fifth consecutive season without a major trophy.
