PSG much improved for Arsenal re match says Luis Enrique

Paris St Germain will be a tougher proposition for Arsenal when the sides meet for a second time in this seasons Champions League, the French clubs manager Luis Enrique said on the eve of their semi-final first leg on Tuesday.

Goals by Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka led Arsenal to a comfortable 2-0 victory over PSG in a group game in October, with the French champions failing to impress.

PSG have since won their fourth straight Ligue 1 title, however, and reached the French Cup final as well as eliminating Premier League champions Liverpool and Aston Villa en route to the Champions Leagues final four.

Asked about PSGs defeat by Arsenal in October, Luis Enrique told reporters on Monday; That was seven or eight months ago. I saw the match again. Were a much better team today.

We had a very intense group phase, with a lot of games that could have been finals. So I think that made things difficult because we were in a difficult position, but it has made us much stronger and we are more complete.

These are Champions League semi-finals, but theyre still two games between two teams with the same goal. The key will be managing the pressure.

Arsenal, who secured a crushing 5-1 aggregate win over holders Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, are unbeaten at home in the Champions League this season.

Theyre one of the best teams in Europe and theyve been doing a remarkable job with their coach for several years now, Luis Enrique said.

We all deserve to be here. I like my team the most, thats why Im here. Some people will like Paris more, others Arsenal, thats part of life.

Both Arsenal and PSG are bidding to win Europes elite club competition for the first time.
