00:00So it's all over here at the Emirates, you can probably hear the Arsenal fans behind me filtering
00:05their way out of the stadium, all very happy and rightfully so. Three points for Arsenal, a very
00:11impressive performance I must say, you know it's difficult to know quite what it would have been
00:15in this new era of the Champions League with the league format, but I think for Arsenal the confidence
00:20they could take was how professional and mature they went about their business. They gave PSG
00:26absolutely nothing. I know this is a young PSG side, but the way Arsenal sort of physically
00:31bullied them at times was so, so impressive. Gabriel and Slima, I don't know what more can you say about
00:35them, but the centre-back pairing, I'm not sure there's a better one in Europe at the moment,
00:38and the head of them, Arsenal, worked so, so hard without the ball. Enrique said in his press
00:42conference yesterday he thought Arsenal were the best team in Europe without the ball, and I think
00:46that's justified with the look of the way they've cast the issue out tonight. So a big mark for
00:51Arsenal in this tournament, something that they can take forward into the next round after drawing
00:55Atalanta, the perfect result for Arsenal.
