Arsenal ‘Super strong’ without signature

Arteta said he was impressed that Arsenal could “play the way we worked and stifled them the way we did” against PSG, for which goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma made several exceptional savings.

“Especially after losing, it’s too easy to go and look somewhere else and not take advantage of the moment to trial. All this is in relation to the context and the moment and why you want a narrative you will generate.
