Ahead of the first leg between Arsenal and PSG on Tuesday, Aaron Ramsdale spoke to talkSPORT and he shared his thoughts on the Gunners chances against the Parisians in this tie.

“They definitely back themselves against Real Madrid and have shown what they can do against that team. They’ve already beaten PSG, which can give them great confidence. I know two legs can be tough, but they’re still in it, still pushing. For me, I think they’ll get through, and they’ll be the favorites to win it.”

It will be interesting to see how the first 90 minutes of the tie go and which side can gain the advantage heading into the return leg.
