Arsenal take on Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the Champions League.
The Gunners sent a big message to the rest of Europe with their performance against Real Madrid, beating them 5-1 over two legs.
Many fans believe Arsenal have what it takes now to go all the way and win the Champions League for the first time in their history.
PSG, however, are a tough side to face, and Micah Richards and Alan Shearer have offered some advice to the Gunners ahead of the first leg.
What Arsenal cannot do when they face PSG in the Champions League
Arsenal have already beaten PSG in the Champions League this season.
The Gunners faced Luis Enrique’s side in the league phase of the competition in October and beat them comfortably. Mikel Arteta’s men made them look really average.
That should give them a lot of confidence ahead of the first leg at the Emirates Stadium, and the win over Real Madrid will increase that belief too.
Micah Richards has claimed that Arsenal should have no fear when they take on PSG in the semi-finals, but he has warned the North Londoners about one thing.
The pundit has urged Arsenal not to be complacent because PSG have shown in recent months that they can really hurt teams.
Richards said on the Rest is Football podcast: “They should have absolutely no fear. After what they did to Real Madrid over two legs, they should have no fear.
“But, they can’t be complacent. They can’t go into the game and think the job is done because PSG can hurt you.”
Alan Shearer thinks Unai Emery has given Arsenal the blueprint to beat PSG
Arsenal fans don’t have a great relationship with Unai Emery, but everyone has to agree that he is a brilliant manager. It just didn’t work out for him at the Emirates.
The Spaniard has done a fantastic job at Aston Villa, and even though he lost to PSG on aggregate, he beat them 3-2 in the second leg.
Alan Shearer believes Arsenal can look at that game and take a lot of confidence ahead of their clash at the Emirates Stadium.
He said: “There’s no reason Arsenal should have any fear, I don’t think they will, after what they have done in the quarter-final.
“I know they are not going to have Partey in the first game, but I think what they will take confidence from is the way Aston Villa did to PSG, particularly in the second half – the way they went after them, the way they pressed them, the way they harrassed them and all of those things.
“I think they will look at that game and think they have got a chance here, absolutely.”
