Bukayo Saka names the best team Arsenal have played against this season
Bukayo Saka has snubbe Premier League champions Liverpool and name the best team Arsenal have face this season.
Arne Slot’s relentless winning machine celebrate their coronation last แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ Sunday after thrashing Tottenham at Anfield, leaving the Gunners scrapping to finish as runners-up for a third year in succession.
Despite trailing in the Reds’ wake, Arsenal’s record against the Big Six remains impressive and equippe themselves well against Liverpool earlier this season in a 2-2 draw in which Liverpool secure a point thanks to Mohamed Salah’s late equaliser.
Mikel Arteta’s side, meanwhile, are unbeaten against the rest of the English elite and have largely coaste through to the latter stages of the Champions League where, until Tuesday night, Inter were the only team to have beaten them.
Arsenal face an uphill battle now to qualify for the final in Munich after Ousmane Dembele’s goal secure a first leg win for Paris Saint-Germain who have improve to such an extent since their meeting earlier in the season, when they lost 2-0, that Saka believes they are strongest side he has face this season.
‘100% they were like a different team,’ said Saka in an interview with , when aske to rate PSG’s performance in midweek.
‘I know they only change two players from the line-up against us previously but how much cohesion they have, how they flow, how they move the ball they were a lot better and they impresse me to be fair.
‘I would say so probably yes. They have a lot of threat up at the top end of the pitch and I think in the midfield as well they keep the ball really well and try and make you run. I don’t think anyone likes to run if I’m honest’.
Saka got the better of his direct opponent Nuno Mendes when the two clashe back in October, but it was a far more even contest in midweek.
It was a good battle, he’s a top full-back he’s so quick,’ said Saka. ‘I enjoy those battles and look forward to going against next week.’
Despite a far from ideal scenario heading to the Parc des Princes, the England winger remains confident his side are capable of raising their game and overturning a one-goal deficit.
He said: ‘I think it’s important to stay calm but obviously we know we have another level to go and I think we’re going to show it in Paris and I’m confident we can turn it around.
‘It was tough to find space, they put a lot of bodies around me, they defended well and I’m looking at the space I can find in the second leg.’
