'Arsenal are very disciplined and I think they win over two legs': Paul Merson semi-finals vs PSG
Ex-Arsenal midfielder Paul Merson has expressed confidence in his former club’s chances of securing a spot in the Champions League final for the first time since 2006. Merson believes Arsenal will emerge victorious over PSG across two legs, despite the French side’s strong performances this season.
"I think Arsenal win over two legs.I think Arsenal win, I think we still get carried away with the PSG of the first leg against Liverpool.
"I thought they were outstanding, one of the best team performances we’ve seen this season from anyone. But they lost the game, they lost that game 1-0, people still forget that.
"They are outstanding. But they were hanging on, absolutely hanging on at Anfield. Then they go and play Villa and they absolutely dominated Villa, scored last kick of the game which worked out to be a priceless goal in the end to go 3-1 up.
"Then they want to Villa Park and at times in that game, it got to stages where you’re thinking there’s only one winner here and that’s Aston Villa.
"I think Arsenal have every chance. I’d just go slightly go with Arsenal over PSG over legs, I think Arsenal are very disciplined and I think Arsenal win this," Merson has stated.
