Arsenal’s Impressive Stat Poses Threat to PSG Ahead of Champions League Match | OneFootball

Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are gearing up for a clash next week on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League, and the Gunners have a stat that might give PSG some cause for concern.

The Gunners will have two matches before the clash: Wednesday’s against Bolton Wanderers and Saturday’s against Leicester City. Meanwhile, the Parisians will face Stade Rennais on Saturday.

Mikel Arteta and his team also have confidence after going on the road to Manchester City and securing a draw while playing with 10 men. Although they do have heartbreak due to having a 2-1 lead and conceding in the second half stoppage time.

Heading into the matchup, manager Luis Enrique and his team know they’ll face an excellent team. Nonetheless, the Premier League side have a stat that should concern PSG whenever there’s a dead ball play.

WhoScored spotlighted on X that Arsenal tops the most Premier League goals scored from set-pieces since the start of last season:

◎ 23 – Arsenal

◎ 21 – Everton

◎ 17 – Aston Villa

◎ 17 – Manchester City

◎ 16 – Newcastle United

The Parisian players must be on their A-game to defend these plays and prevent the English side from scoring.
