Paris Saint-Germain man, Joao Neves, has lauded three Arsenal stars ahead of their Champions League semifinal second leg next week.
He hailed the likes of captain Martin Odegaard and his midfield partners, Declan Rice and Thomas Partey.
Arsenal defeated PSG 2-0 in the league stage of the competition this season.
However, they lost the first leg of the semi-final 1-0 to the visiting French side at the Emirates Stadium.
Asked about which opponent that has been the toughest this season, the Portuguese told The Athletic, via TBR Football,
“Arsenal, for sure. One of the best teams. The midfield – Odegaard, Declan Rice, Partey. Amazing players.”;
The trio of Odegaard, Rice, and Partey has formed a remarkable pact in midfield that has destabilized several attacking teams in this season’s UCL.
During the quarterfinal, Declan Rice’s freekick strikes did enough to help the Gunners see off Real Madrid in the quarterfinals.
In 11 Champions League appearances, Rice has made six goal contributions this season, Odegaard has registered four goal contributions in nine UCL fixtures, while Partey’s absence was felt by Arsenal supporters during the first leg in North London.
