Barcelona, Atletico win their groups in Champions League
Arsenal, who are fourth, host 10th-placed Bournemouth at on Sunday in the Premier League.
PSG were always unsafe and Lucas’ header, which took a touch off Alex Iwobi, gave them a fully-deserved equaliser 13 minutes from time.
Arsenal scraped a 2-2 with a dubious penalty scored by Olivier Giroud and a spectacular own goal from Marco Verratti.
The draw means that Arsenalare second going into the final round of matches, and need to better PSG’s result against Ludogorets when they visit Basel.
“We still have to play against Ludogorets, but we’re now top and that’s important”, Emery said.
Wenger threw on Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain in search of a victor but PSG saw the game out and now appear odds-on to maintain their spot at the head of Group A.
Arsène Wenger (Arsenal coach): “I think that we brought some real intensity to this match”. I think we played well and it is unfortunate that we didn’t hold on to the win but that is life. “Will it be good or bad?”
“We deserved that in terms of the way the game went”.
As things stand – with one fixture left remaining – Arsenal would face either Benfica, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Monaco, Borussia Dortmund or Juventus if they finish second.
“The advantage of finishing first is that you play the second leg at home”.
The draw saw PSG regain top spot in Group A with a superior head to head over Arsenal after five games.
Craig Burley argues with the rest of the FC crew about Arsenal’s effort against PSG in their draw at the Emirates.
“I feel for him but we’re in it together”. “It’s true that in the past two games he has been a bit frustrated but that’s normal because he’s ready to go again”.
“We did very well against them and our best players showed great personality”.
“For me it’s more frustrating not to win the game but they are a team with top technical quality”.
Edinson Cavani opened the scoring for the visitors with a well taken finish from a through ball by Blaise Matuidi and the visitors were the dominant team before Alexis Sanchez was deemed to have been fouled inside the box.
Uruguayan Cavani had already had two sniffs at goal when he punished Arsenal’s lethargy in the 18th minute.
