Italian football legend Andrea Pirlo believes Arsenal hold a crucial tactical advantage over Paris Saint-Germain ahead of the UEFA Champions League final.
According to Pirlo, Arsenal’s strength in aerial situations could prove decisive when both European giants clash in the highly anticipated final.
Pirlo Highlights Arsenal’s Aerial Threat
The former AC Milan midfielder pointed to players like Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba and Kai Havertz as major threats in the air.
Pirlo explained that Arsenal’s ability to dominate set-pieces and aerial duels gives them an important edge against PSG.
He also noted that the Gunners carefully study and prepare for such situations tactically.
PSG Must Find Different Solutions
Pirlo suggested PSG may struggle physically against Arsenal during dead-ball situations because the French side lacks dominant aerial players.
According to him, the Ligue 1 champions will likely need alternative tactical solutions to neutralise Arsenal’s physical advantage.
The comments have already sparked debate among football fans ahead of the blockbuster final.
Arsenal Chase Historic European Glory
Arsenal are aiming to win the UEFA Champions League title for the first time in the club’s history.
Meanwhile, PSG are hoping to defend the European crown they secured last season.
