Exclusive Arsenal column: Partey return crucial for PSG 2nd leg, the 'perfect' attacker signing & more
Briefly

Arsenal experienced a disappointing night against PSG after high expectations following their recent performance against Real Madrid. Despite strong crowd support, an early goal from PSG deflated the stadium's atmosphere. PSG dominated the early game, putting Arsenal under pressure. However, Arsenal managed to balance the game later but missed chances, thanks in part to PSG's goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma's exceptional saves. Arsenal remains hopeful for the second leg, especially with Thomas Partey returning, suggesting adjustments in tactical positioning may bolster their chances in Paris.
The early goal just seemed to burst the bubble. It sucked the life out of the place and things never really got going again.
PSG were excellent in that opening half an hour. The goal obviously gave them a real boost early on and they gave Arsenal the toughest test they have been given this season.
They could have easily got themselves level, but Gianluigi Donnarumma pulled off two fabulous saves to deny them.
The fact is they are still in that tie and that's something they have to hang on to right.
