Paul Merson, a former Arsenal player, believes that his old team will emerge victorious over two legs. He thinks that PSG's performance in their previous match against Liverpool has been exaggerated. In that game, PSG played well at home but struggled to hold on at Anfield, ultimately losing 1-0.

Merson also pointed out that PSG's recent win against Aston Villa was a close game, with Villa dominating at times. PSG's winning goal was scored in the last minute, which proved crucial in the end.

Merson thinks that Arsenal's schedule has actually worked in their favor. Unlike other teams in Europe, Arsenal has not prioritized their league fixtures over the Champions League. This gives them a rare break before the big match, which Merson finds refreshing.
