Former Premier League midfielder Leon Osman believes Arsenal sailed to a comfortable victory against Paris Saint-Germain, saying their performance could still “go up another gear.”
“Tactically, Arsenal found a way of hurting PSG in the first half,” said Osman on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast. “Leandro Trossard was going right up against the centre-halves and then dropping away at the last minute, so the PSG midfield were not ready for them.
“They found themselves unopposed and they picked up some lovely key positions.
“They are a team that trust themselves at both ends of the field. If you want to win trophies, then you have to depend on your defence because you will come up against so much quality.
“I feel like they will grow throughout the competition. At the moment, it is all about getting results but I still feel like they can go up another gear. That will come with belief and confidence.
“Usually teams who come out on top in these competitions are the ones who have grown into it.”
