According to reports, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain will face each other tomorrow night at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-finals. This match holds significant importance, especially for Mikel Arteta and his squad, given their contrasting domestic league situations.

Luis Enrique said in the post-match press conference: “The key to success in this match is how we manage different phases of the game. We must dominate all aspects, and that will be crucial.”

Your thoughts on Arsenal
I don’t think I need to say much about them. We have witnessed the incredible work of Arsenal and Mikel Arteta over the last six or seven years.

Difference from the last encounter
I think the last match was seven or eight months ago, and now we are a better team than we were back then.

We had the toughest matches in the group stage—matches that could have been played in the later stages of the Champions League.

Comparing the two teams
No one knows what will happen tomorrow, but I think Arsenal and PSG are very similar in terms of player quality.

PSG’s recent poor results
It’s interesting that no one talks about the matches we won, and everyone only remembers the losses and draws.

Victory over Liverpool in the previous round
I think it was very positive for our confidence to beat Liverpool, who are now Premier League champions, but that doesn’t mean we’ll have an easier time against Arsenal because every match has its own conditions.

Is the Premier League the best football league in the world? I don’t know why everyone talks about the English Premier League and calls it the best league. I don’t know if I agree with that. But it doesn’t matter because whatever answer I give, I will still be criticized.
