Arsène Wenger, who previously managed Arsenal and came close to winning the Champions League, shared his thoughts on the challenge his former team faces. Wenger spoke about the mental aspect of the game and how it plays a crucial role in deciding the outcome. He pointed out that Arsenal has a straightforward mental task: to win the game and progress. On the other hand, PSG faces a more complex decision: whether to play to win or focus on defending their lead.

Wenger noted that PSG's coach, Luis Enrique, has already stated that they need to win the game, but this mindset might not align with the team's usual approach. Wenger believes that PSG's players may struggle with this mindset, especially when playing at home and with the final in sight. He thinks it will be challenging for them to adopt a passive attitude.

PSG was defeated by Arsenal in the group stage of this year's competition, which could give Arsenal confidence. However, Dembélé, who scored the winning goal, is currently nursing a tight hamstring and may miss the second leg. This could be a significant advantage for Arsenal.
