    “Arsenal’s advantage is the mentality – they have to play and win.” Wenger said. “Whereas PSG’s mentality is: do we play to win the game or do we play to maintain the advantage and counter-attack? You have to be very clear about your message to the team.”

Wenger’s view underscores the importance of psychology in games with high stakes. For Arsenal, the path is straightforward – to win in Paris. This clarity can encourage a determined and aggressive approach, free of ambiguity.

    PSG, on the other hand, face a strategic dilemma – to play to maintain the advantage or to continue to attack. This uncertainty can lead to hesitation and mixed signals on the pitch. Which can undermine team unity and performance.

    Arsenal’s recent European performances, including a remarkable quarter-final victory over Real Madrid, reflect the team’s capabilities. Manager Mikel Arteta has instilled a flexible mindset. Stressing the importance of belief and commitment.

    The Spanish boss acknowledged the need for a standout performance in Paris. Saying: “We have to do something outstanding in Paris.”

    The Gunners are targeting a first Champions League final since 2006.
