May 7th According to Sky Sports, Saka talked about Arsenal's second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in Paris in an interview.

It is reported that Arsenal star Saka said the team is confident of reversing Paris, even though they lost 0-1 in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final at Emirates Stadium. In that game, Dembele's goal in the fourth minute of the game determined the victory of that game, but Saka firmly believed that the team still had a chance to compete for the last trophy this season.

Regarding the first round loss

I think it is important to stay calm, but we know we still have room for improvement, and I believe we will show it in Paris and be confident that we can reverse it. Obviously, we are a little frustrated and disappointed with the outcome like this, but the most important thing is to stay calm and everything is far from over.

Regarding performance in the first leg, it was difficult to find space. They arranged a lot of defensive players around me and the defense was very tight. I'm looking for space to take advantage of in the second round.

About Paris and before, they are like a completely different team, I know they have only replaced two players, but judging by their tacit understanding, fluency and passing, they have improved a lot. To be honest, they impressed me. They have a great head coach with top-notch players who are extremely threatening in the frontcourt.

Regarding the players in Paris, these players are all top players, and I have no negative comments. I have a lot of respect for them and I enjoy watching them when they aren't playing against me.

It is worth mentioning that Dembele's return will undoubtedly bring great help to Paris. He was forced to leave the game in the 70th minute of that match due to a hamstring problem in the first leg and missed the league match against Strasbourg last Saturday. However, now he has resumed training. The 27-year-old made 45 appearances for Paris this season, scoring 33 goals and contributing 10 assists.
