PSG registered 32 attempts on goal and Nice required a brilliant performance from their goalkeeper, Marcin Bulka, to prevent the Ligue 1 champions from scoring more than once. Luis Enrique’s side will now turn their attention to the first leg of their Champions League semi final against Arsenal on Tuesday evening.

Arteta wanted to invite Enrique to his office at the Emirates Stadium, which is connected to the Arsenal dressing room, to catch up before PSG headed back to France. The pair know each other from their playing days at Barcelona and have stayed in touch ever since.

Mikel Arteta will be desperately hoping Mikel Merino is fit for next week’s clash with Paris Saint-Germain, as otherwise the Arsenal manager will have a major selection headache. Arsenal are already short on midfield options as Jorginho is out injured and Thomas Partey is suspended for the first leg of the Champions League semi-final with PSG on Tuesday night.
