Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) captain Marquinhos has said he and his teammates know the strengths of Arsenal, ahead of Saturday’s UEFA Champions League final.
Facing A Tough Arsenal Side
Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Marquinhos admitted how difficult it is to face this current Arsenal side.
The Brazil international, however, pointed out that the PSG side have always find a way to get out of difficult situations no matter the opponent.
“We’ve played them a few times over the last few years, and we know what their strengths are,” Marquinhos said.
“We know how difficult it is to face this Arsenal team. We can’t know what will happen during the match, and what could be the deciding moment. We need to be ready for anything.”

“Whatever the opponent this season, whether it was against Liverpool, Chelsea, or Bayern Munich, there were times where they made it difficult for us. We managed to step up and adapt to what was needed. In a final, we’ll need to be decisive when it comes to the details.”
Approach To The Final
On how PSG plan to approach this season’s final, after a dominant 5-0 win against Inter Milan, he added:” It’s the same feeling, the same motivation. Even if we’ve already experienced it, we’re human beings. These are important matches, they’re difficult moments, there’s a lot going on around them.”
“Last season’s approach was to try and manage everything that’s going on around the match, everything concerning the pressure. We’re not going to change anything, we’re going to keep working as we’ve been doing until now and keep the motivation that we had last year.”
