Gerrard gives Arsenal tips to beat PSG
Liverpool legend, Steven Gerrard said Arsenal is playing one of the best teams in Europe.
Speaking on TNTSports via Arsenal radar, the Liverpool legend explained that winning the Premier League would also boost the Gunners ahead of their Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain. He said:
“I know more than anyone that an underdog can win this final. It was a mismatch when we played AC Milan but anything can happen.
“Arsenal are paying against a high-quality team with an elite manager so Arsenal will have to be the best versions of themselves.
“Every single player will have to turn up but of course they’ve got a chance. Being the underdogs might even suit this Arsenal team.
“If they can win the Premier League that will give them immense confidence and belief going into the final as well.
“They’ve certainly got a chance. I think they need to use their physicality, their size, make every set-piece count and take PSG to places they don’t want to go and make it uncomfortable for them.”

“It’s a possibility [that Arsenal win] but they’re going to have to have a bit of luck. They’re going to have to have things go their way on the night because this PSG team, they’re just so good everywhere.
