'Sometimes you just have to recognise the talent of the individual': Mikel Arteta on Dembele's goal
1
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has credited Paris Saint-Germain’s Ousmane Dembele for a moment of individual brilliance that sealed a 1-0 win for the French side in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final.
"That is always the danger, credit to them. They get out of a situation that is close.
"We had seven players behind the ball and they were clinical, sometimes you just have to recognise the talent of the individual," Arteta has stated.
Arsenal will face PSG in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final in Paris on May 7.
