PSG midfielder: This is why Arsenal are a level above Chelsea

ARSENAL are a “level above” Chelsea, according to Paris St-Germain midfielder Thiago Motta.

The Gunners begin their latest Champions League adventure on Tuesday night with a trip to the French capital.

But Arsene Wenger will be wary that PSG knocked Chelsea out of the competition in the last two seasons.

Despite seeing off the Blues during their Premier League title-winning campaign in 2015, Motta is expecting a tougher test against Arsenal.

“Arsenal are a level above Chelsea because they like to play,” Motta said following last night’s 1-1 draw against Saint-Etienne.

“We’ve not faced an English team like that.”

PSG head into the clash without a win in their last two league games.
