Episode 3236: No Flow, No Go
It was suggested here recently that this brilliant PSG team might choke in sight of the Munich final. Instead they did at the Emirates what they had done at Anfield and Villa Park, scoring early to take control in the semi-final first leg.
Ken outlines the reasons why he thought Arsenal would win last night and then talks about all the reasons why they didn’t. Is it possible that Arsenal can only succeed if Mikel Arteta learns to accept and then to embrace the FLOW that governs all things?
Martin Odegaard is a lovely technical player to watch, so fluid, floats across the grass. But a player of that ability needs to be taking a grip of this game. He’s #AFC captain, needs to lead the comeback. #ARSPSG

Diego Torres was at the Emirates for last night’s game and joins us to talk about why PSG are the best team in Europe, whether Kylian Mbappe is a problem for his teams, and why in his view Arsenal have been going backwards for longer than most people think.
