Former French Star Eager to See Arsenal’s William Saliba Handle This Electric PSG Attacker

Now that it’s set that Arsenal and PSG will meet again after facing each other in the league phase, one former player is eager to see how Willian Saliba defends one particular Parisian attacker.

“[Saliba has] improved so much,” Ludovic Giuly told Le Parisien (h/t Le10Sport). “Honestly, he’s the leader at the back, and in no time, he’ll be the leader of France’s defense too. It’s going to be great to see him go up against Ousmane Dembele in the semifinal…

“[Arsenal-PSG tie is] going to be huge. It’ll be even more exciting to watch than Barcelona vs. Inter Milan. Arsenal are a bit like Paris — both have great collective control. I think Arsenal defend a bit better than Paris, while the Parisians have more attacking talent.”
