Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger believes that the Gunners would have the psychological advantage going into the second leg of their Champions League semi-final clash against PSG.

The 75-year-old who coached Arsenal for 22 years, leading them to two UCL semi-finals—one of which he won before eventually losing in the final to Barcelona—believes having a clear objective gives Arsenal an edge.

The Gunners lost the first-leg at the Emirates Stadium to an Ousmane Dembele goal, and by clear objective Wenger meant that Mikel Arteta had to set up his side to win. PSG on the other hand have to worry about not losing, as well as winning.
