Arsenal vs PSG LIVE SCORE: Champions League semi-final on SOON as Mikel Merino starts in midfield – stream FREE, updates

‘We’re a better team now’

These two teams have already met this season, of course.

That game – during the group phase of the Champions League, saw Arsenal come away with a 2-0 victory.

Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka scored two goals in a five-minute spell to give the Gunners a great win.

But Enrique says there are “big differences” in his team from that game, with the defeat helping them to become a better side.

He said: “We played on October 1, seven or eight months ago.

“There are big differences. I rewatched that game and looked at how far we’ve come.

“We’re a better team now and we’ve shown it throughout the competition.

“The tough group stage hurt us at first, but over time, it helped us improve.”

PSG, like Arsenal, have never won Europe’s top competition and have also reached the final just once.

That came in 2020 when now-England manager Thomas Tuchel was in charge – the French giants lost 1-0 to Bayern.

Enrique added: “When we say we want to make history, we’re talking about doing something that nobody has done before us.

“The team has a lot of confidence, and sometimes we’re less brilliant, but that’s part of life.

“PSG have never won the Champions League? Neither have Arsenal.

“We mustn’t let that stop us from performing at the highest level, we have to keep that in mind but concentrate on what we have to do.”
