Joe Cole says PSG Have Big Advantage Over Arsenal in UCLSemi-final
Former Chelsea star Joe Cole has pointed out what he sees as a big edge Paris Saint-Germain have over Arsenal in their upcoming Champions League semi-final clash.
Both teams secured their spots in the last four after PSG saw off Aston Villa and Arsenal pulled off a huge win against Real Madrid.
Speaking to TNT Sports, Cole praised Arsenal’s performance and the progress under Mikel Arteta, saying the club is in a great place despite falling out of the Premier League title race.
He noted that Arsenal have already faced PSG earlier in the competition, which helps reduce the element of surprise. However, he believes the real game-changer is that the second leg will be played in Paris.
With the away goals rule no longer in play, Cole thinks hosting the second leg gives PSG a significant advantage.
Still, he gave Arsenal full credit for their display at the Bernabeu, calling it a brilliant achievement.
The first leg will be held at the Emirates later this month, with the return match scheduled for May in Paris.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
