Arsenal must stick together in PSG showdown

MARTIN Odegaard has urged Arsenal to “stick together” after their recent failures as they aim to defy the odds in tonight’s decisive Champions League semi-final showdown with Paris Saint-Germain.

Arsenal must stick together in PSG showdown

The Gunners head to the Parc des Princes faced with the daunting task of having to beat the French champions to reach the Champions League final for the second time in their history.

Mikel Arteta’s side trail 1-0 from the first leg after Ousmane Dembele’s winner in north London.

PSG have already eliminated Premier League champions Liverpool in the last 16 and Aston Villa in the quarter-finals, after beating Manchester City in the group phase.

Arsenal, who have never won the Champions League, are on the brink of becoming PSG's latest English scalp this season after a disappointing first leg that could have ended in a heavier defeat.

Their preparations for the second leg in Paris couldn’t have gone much worse as they slumped to a 2-1 home defeat against Bournemouth in the Premier League on Saturday.

Arteta said Arsenal were full of “rage and anger” after two painful losses.

But Gunners captain Odegaard said they can use those emotions as fuel to inspire an epic victory over PSG — as long as there are no recriminations over the badly-timed slump.
