PSG Manager Luis Enrique Opens Up On Arsenal Challenge

Arsenal proved to be the better team when these two sides met during the group phase last year. But since then, a lot of water has flown under the bridge and PSG have sealed a place in the UCL last four. Manager Luis Enrique insisted PSG are no more the same they used to be.

As quoted by Yahoo Sports, he said, “The difference between the PSG of today and the one that lost to Arsenal is six months.

"We played some really big teams during the group stages and we lost many games but it has been positive because we've had to improve our level. And here we are in the semis, a better team."
