Arsenal crashed into a 1-0 defeat against Paris Saint-Germain at home during the first leg of the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League today.
The Gunners will be very disappointed with the defeat during the first leg, and it will be interesting to see if they can make things go up in the return match.
Arsenal missed the title of Premier League recently in Liverpool, and they will not want to crash the Champions League. The absence of a quality attacker cost them dear this season, and the absence of a clinical finisher was once again a problem for them this evening.
Leandro Trossard received the opportunity to direct the line for Arsenal against PSG, but the Belgian striker organized a disappointing performance. Not only did he miss a great chance to score a goal for his team, but his overall display was also disappointing.
The 30 -year -old striker lost the ball 14 times, and he failed to create great opportunities for his teammates. His death was also capricious, with only 67% precision.
Arsenal needs an upgrade on Leandro Trossard
It is not a secret for anyone that Arsenal needs a quality attacker, and the performance of the Belgian show that they must bring an upgrade in summer if they want to seriously win major trophies. Although there was no doubt that the 30 -year -old was a useful player for Arsenal since he joined them, he simply is not good enough to start a team in the hope of winning the title of Premier League or the Champions League.
The Belgian is quite effective as a team player, and Arsenal must restrict his role to this. They need a clinical scorer in summer, and it remains to be seen if they can connect the weaknesses to the side during the summer transfer window.
