“I’ve always supported Arsenal in the Champions League, but with what Arteta is doing, if he doesn’t adjust, they’ll be desperate for the final whistle against PSG,” says Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, furious over Mikel Arteta’s costly error ahead of the PSG showdown.

 

 

BREAKING NEWS: Pep Guardiola Blasts Mikel Arteta Over Crucial Mistake Ahead of PSG Clash

 

Tensions are already rising ahead of Arsenal’s blockbuster UEFA Champions League clash against Paris Saint-Germain, but it’s not just Arsenal fans who are concerned — Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has openly expressed his frustration at Mikel Arteta’s latest decision.

 

 

In a shocking interview, Guardiola admitted he has long admired Arsenal in European competitions, but warned that if Arteta refuses to make urgent changes, the Gunners might find themselves desperately waiting for the final whistle against the French giants.

 

“I have always been an Arsenal fan in the Champions League,” Guardiola said. “But for what Arteta has done, if he refuses to change, they’ll beg for the final whistle against PSG.”

 

 

Though Pep stopped short of mentioning the exact decision he disagrees with, insiders claim the issue revolves around Arteta’s controversial tactical approach and player selection for the upcoming clash. Sources close to the City boss revealed that Guardiola feels Arteta’s stubbornness in sticking to a particular strategy — one that PSG’s attack-heavy side could easily exploit — could prove costly.

 

This isn’t the first time Guardiola has publicly spoken about his former assistant. The two have shared a close relationship since Arteta’s days as Pep’s right-hand man at Manchester City. However, this recent statement suggests a clear disagreement in managerial philosophy ahead of a crucial European night.

 

 

“Arteta is a brilliant coach,” Pep added. “But sometimes brilliance comes with mistakes, and when you face a side like PSG, those mistakes become punishable.”

 

Arsenal supporters have reacted with mixed emotions. While some applaud Guardiola’s honesty, others believe it’s an attempt to play mind games and unsettle the Gunners ahead of the tie.

 

 

Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta has yet to respond publicly to Guardiola’s remarks. The Arsenal boss has been under immense pressure to deliver in Europe this season, with fans desperate to see their side progress to the latter stages of the competition for the first time in years.

 

With the highly anticipated showdown against PSG fast approaching, all eyes will be on whether Arteta makes the necessary adjustments or sticks to his guns — potentially risking Arsenal’s Champions League dream.
