🚨🎙️ Robin van Persie on Mikel Arteta playing a low block after taking the lead against PSG:
🗣️ “That early goal gave Arsenal a huge advantage against PSG. Instead of going for the second goal and putting them under even more pressure, Arteta decided to sit back and defend a one-goal lead.
Maybe he thought he was playing a Premier League match where you can score once, shut up shop, and see the game out.
But this is PSG. This is a Champions League final.
You cannot invite a team with that much quality onto you for 90 minutes and expect them not to punish you.
Sometimes the best way to defend a lead is to keep attacking, and I think Arsenal forgot that tonight.
They could have won this final. If only they had moved away from that defensive approach, but fear got the better of them.”
