After a sluggish start to their Champions League debut against Girona, PSG did not get off to the best start to their European campaign. But in this 36-team championship, only victory counts and this second day should quickly indicate whether this new PSG is cut out for the C1 or whether the Capital club is only going to play an outsider among many others for the quest. from the cut to the big ears. In any case, Luis Enrique’s gang is having a first major European meeting by traveling to England near London to face an Arsenal team which was only able to go 0-0 for his first C1 match against Atalanta Bergamo and who must win.

A first turning point in the season for this PSG without Kylian Mbappé who should not be missed against one of the favorites of the competition. Because the team coached by Mikel Arteta is not the first to come. Very close to winning the title of champion of England last year after a high-level mano a mano with Manchester City, the Gunners are on the podium of the Premier League behind Liverpool and… Manchester City. Although handicapped by the injury of their playing master Martin Odegaard, Arsenal, who will play in their lair at the Emirates Stadium, have considerable resources, from Leandro Trossard, to Declan Rice via Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, William Saliba or even his breathtaking Spanish goalkeeper David Raya. Let it be said, it is almost Arsenal who are the favorites in this second day of the Champions League.

An experimental PSG against Arsenal

If PSG has so far managed to avoid the pitfalls encountered, Paris is not at its best. Despite the explosion of a sparkling Bradley Barcola, PSG has lacked leaders since the departure of Kylian Mbappé. Ousmane Dembelé was to occupy this role, but the latter is on alternating current and has just been sidelined by Luis Enrique for disciplinary reasons a few hours before the match. Not the best way to prepare for the meeting. It is therefore a decimated Parisian team, but with a commando spirit which will arrive in London with the firm intention of creating a surprise. And it’s often when you don’t expect it that this Parisian team is the most surprising. Will this experimental PSG succeed?
