UCL: Carragher Says Arteta Will Be Furious Ahead of Arsenal vs PSG

Former Liverpool defender, Jamie Carragher, has stated that “Mikel Arteta will be furious” ahead of the upcoming clash with Paris Saint-Germain, following his team’s slip-up against Crystal Palace.

Arsenal took the lead twice in a dramatic first half on Wednesday night but ultimately ended up drawing 2-2 with Oliver Glasner’s side. This result has left their hold on second place less secure.

Arteta’s side has now won just one of their last four Premier League matches. Mathematically, five other teams still have a chance of catching Arsenal if results don’t go their way.

Arsenal now need at least six points from their remaining four league matches to secure a spot in Europe’s top competition next season.

Carragher, speaking on Sky Sports, said: “I think he’ll be furious tonight, Mikel Arteta.

“They’ll be fine in terms of qualifying for the Champions League, but you want to put that to bed as early as you can.

“When you look at the fixtures, then you’ve got Bournemouth, which is not an easy game, at home. But that’s in between the two biggest games of the season.

“If you win tonight, you can almost write the Bournemouth game off and change the whole team – I don’t think he’s in a position to do that because of what comes next. Liverpool away.”
