Godwin Okpara: Arsenal’s Concentration Dip Cost Them Against PSG

1 / 2

Former Nigeria defender Godwin Okpara has weighed in on Arsenal’s narrow 4-3 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League final. While praising Arsenal’s tactical discipline and defensive record, he believes a momentary lapse in concentration proved costly. After a 1-1 draw in regulation time, Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Magalhães missed crucial penalties, handing the victory to PSG. "I think they did all they could, but luck wasn't on their side," Okpara said. "When you get the first goal in a final, you must push for a second to ease the pressure. PSG remained dangerous, and Arsenal needed to defend with full focus until the final whistle. It’s a setback, but they can come back stronger next season."
