Carragher explained: "The way they played was almost the only way to beat PSG. In the first half PSG were not at their best - could they have taken advantage of that? Yes, they were vulnerable. But that's Arsenal. I thought it would prevent them from winning the championship, but that didn't happen. However, the team lacks the necessary class in attack. Particularly in the first half, Arsenal couldn't maintain periods of possession. PSG didn't have much sparkle and didn't create any dangerous chances, but Arsenal allowed their opponents to push them back to the edge of their own penalty area far too easily. Arsenal are the best team in the world when it comes to defending their own penalty area and their two central defenders played outstandingly on Saturday. But even as Premier League champions, will they be able to reach their full potential at Arsenal if they step up their attack? including support from the full-backs. But if you consider the quality of the attacking players from PSG and Comparing Arsenal, the difference is obvious - it's night and day. The signing of Victor Osimhen hasn't lived up to expectations so far, but I'm looking at the center forward and left winger positions - and I think the club needs serious reinforcements if they want to win the Champions League. If you look at the team's path to the Champions League final, it was quite favorable. Therefore, in my opinion, it is clear that Arsenal are at an offensive disadvantage compared to the strongest teams in Europe. “The club needs to improve in this area in the summer,” Sky Sports quoted Carragher as saying.
