UCL: Carragher suggests why PSG beat Arsenal to win trophy

Liverpool legend, Jamie Carragher, has suggested why Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal to win the UEFA Champions League on Saturday.

Arsenal opened the scoring through Kai Havertz’s wonderful strike in the first half.

But the French Ligue 1 champions equalized in the second half, thanks to Ousmane Dembele’s penalty.

The encounter eventually entered a penalty shoot-out, and the Parisians won, after Eberechi Eze and Gabriel missed their spot kicks.

Speaking on Sky Sports News, Carragher said that Mikel Arteta’s side doesn’t have enough quality in the attack,  which affected them against PSG.

“That is always the criticism of Arteta’s Arsenal. I think the way they played last night was almost the only way they could have played to try and beat PSG,” Carragher said.

“PSG weren’t great in the first half. Were they there for the taking? But that is what Arsenal are.

“What I would say, and I have said this all season, and I thought this would stop Arsenal winning the league but it didn’t: they don’t have enough quality in attack.

“Arsenal are fantastic, the best team in the world at defending their own box and their two centre-backs were outstanding last night, but even though they are the champions of England, they need better attackers.”
