Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, said, “We’re looking forward to it. [PSG] are exceptional.”
PSG manager, Luis Enrique, said, “I think Arsenal are one of the best teams in Europe at the moment.”
According to arsenal.com:
We put our 14-game unbeaten run on the line against the club Mikel Arteta made his professional debut with, and a manager in Luis Enrique whom he featured alongside as a youngster at Barcelona, but all niceties will be put to one side as we aim to record a huge win to follow up our draw at Atalanta a fortnight ago.
Arteta: “We’re looking forward to it. These are the kind of nights that we want to experience and want to have against an unbelievable opponent. [PSG] are exceptional. They have a very clear intention of how they want to dominate the game through the ball and when they don’t have it, they want it straight back.
“We know after the draw in Atalanta, with the number of games we have left still, it’s going to be really important. Nothing is going to be decided tomorrow.”
Enrique: “I think Arsenal are one of the best teams in Europe at the moment. ‘With the ball they are a team very close to the top European level and without the ball they are also very good.
“I would even say that they are one of the best teams in the world without the ball. They are a team with a real identity. We are similar but also have different styles of play.”
