Wenger admits PSG have a key advantage over Arsenal in crucial Champions League clash

Arsene Wenger admits Paris Saint-Germain have an advantage over Arsenal ahead of their key Champions League clash on Wednesday evening.

Both sides have already qualified for the knockout phase but the Gunners need a victory over the French champions to beat them to top spot in Group A.

PSG head into the fixture off the back of a 2-0 victory over Nantes on Saturday, while the Gunners rescued a late point in their draw with Manchester United.

And Wenger believes Ligue 1’s lack of competitive edge when compared to the Premier League tips the balance in PSG’s favour.

‘PSG has an advantage as they can manage their games,’ said the Arsenal manager.

‘They played against Nantes and played at [only] 80%, 90%.

‘We played at Man United and we had no room to drop one per cent.’
