Arsenal<\/strong> have the welcome distraction of a Champions League semi-final first leg against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n The Gunners have looked edgy in the Premier League and risk missing out on the title to arch-rivals Manchester City, so Mikel Arteta<\/strong>s side will likely be pleased to switch their focus to the Champions League for a little bit.<\/p>\n We have two contrasting semi-final ties in the Champions League, with Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid likely to be a real fight. PSG vs Bayern Munich, meanwhile, was a thrilling all-attack encounter, with Tuesday\u2019s first leg finishing 5-4.<\/p>\n When reflecting on this game, Parlour has warned Arsenal that they will have to be at their maximum to beat PSG or Bayern Munich in the final.<\/p>\n \u201cOlise was different class.

To get 5-2 up, you\u2019d be thinking, \u2018Come on, let\u2019s just try and slow it down a little bit, keep possession\u2019, but credit to Bayern because they just kept going.<\/p>\n \u201cBayern had a couple of chances at the end to get the equaliser as well, but the game itself, the quality of the game, was magnificent, it really was.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: Ten Premier League transfer mistakes from 2025 that need fixing in 2026 Parlour has also predicted the first leg between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, while PSG and Bayern Munich are the \u201ctwo best sides\u201d in the competition.<\/p>\n \u201cAs I\u2019ve said before, we have go the best league, there\u2019s no doubt about the Premier League,\u2019 he continued.<\/p>\n \u201cBut the two best sides, if you look at those two going forward, it\u2019s very hard to deal with the forward, attacking ability that they\u2019ve both got.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019ll be interesting to see how tonight\u2019s game goes. It\u2019ll be 0-0 tonight! It will be a little bit tighter!<\/p>\n \u201cIt was a tight game last night in quality of goals, but I can\u2019t see it being nine goals tonight if I\u2019m being honest with you.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: Arsenal 3 Man City 4 in Premier League XI of season so far He continued: \u201cYou always look at the importance of the game because you can get a really top-class game with loads of goals, end-to-end stuff, when you\u2019re not playing for anything,\u2019 the three-time Premier League winner went on.<\/p>\n \u201cBut these two teams last night were playing for the final of the Champions League and to put on a show like that\u2026 it would have been an amazing game to be in.<\/p>\n \u201cIf I was in that stadium, the atmosphere sounded like it was unbelievable so that\u2019s one thing you get from Paris.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen you go to Bayern Munich it will be exactly the same so it should be a cracking second leg.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n
