Luis Enrique hailed Arsenal as one of the best aerial teams in Europe after their 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League on Tuesday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s side secured their first win in the Champions League this season with first-half goals from Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
PSG, meanwhile, struggled to create clear-cut chances at the Emirates Stadium and have now suffered their first defeat of the season.
Speaking after the game, PSG head coach Luis Enrique believes Arsenal’s physicality was a key factor behind their performance and admits his players struggled to overcome the pressure from Arteta’s side.
‘Our rivals tonight were much better in terms of intensity, in terms of pressure, they won every duel,’ Luis Enrique said.
‘Effectively after the second goal Arsenal scored they decided to defend a bit more deeply, take a few less risks, Arsenal deserved their victory.
