This game was carried on CBS, so I got to see my team in ECL. I wish they'd have done better. I think that on balance, PSG deserved to win, and Arsenal did enough to merit being down just one, the third minute strike by Dembele. However, it should probably have been 2-0 after Timber grabbed their guy and impeded him in the penalty area. The ref played on, and VAR didn't tell him to take another look. Good thing, because every time I see it it looks more like a penalty. The game was quite watchable, with nice passages of play throughout and some hotly contested duels. The Gunners had the ball in their net via a Merino header off a free kick, but he was offside by maybe a foot. Donnarumma made a great save on a shot by Martinelli. PSG had a few good opportunities at the other end.
PSG were the better squad on the night. But I saw reasons to think we can beat the Parisians at their place next week, as the Arsenal women did to Lyon.
Eze an Arsenal target? You'd mentioned him before as a possible target. Palace has a hard time holding on to players.

I see many reasons to hope and expect an Arsenal victory next week.
