Arsenal legend Thierry Henry has warned the club about an ‘unplayable’ Paris Saint-Germain side in the Champions League.
The Gunners commenced their European campaign with a 1-0 victory over Napoli on Wednesday, courtesy of Martin Odegaard’s late goal.
Mikel Arteta guided Arsenal to the Champions League final last season, only to witness his team suffer a heartbreaking defeat to PSG in a penalty shootout.
Once again, Arsenal are among the favourites to claim the European title after securing the Premier League title last season and enjoying a remarkable start to the current campaign.
The north London club has triumphed in all three of their opening Premier League matches and begun their Champions League campaign with a victory over Serie A powerhouse Napoli.
Henry expressed hope that his former club can finally secure the Champions League trophy, but cautioned that reigning champions PSG are nearly ‘unplayable’.
PSG boss Luis Enrique has led the French champions to consecutive European titles, and they commenced their title defence with an impressive 6-1 victory over Slovan Bratislava.
He told The Athletic: “You see how PSG press? They’re unplayable. But it took Luis Enrique a good five to six months to get that team going.
“People often overlook the fact that players must be receptive to coaching. This is a significant aspect that is not frequently discussed.
“If you are a coach and your players are eager to follow your instructions, and they possess a modicum of talent, you can achieve great things. Conversely, if they resist even slightly, it can become considerably more challenging.”
