“We Dominated Liverpool and Knocked Out Juventus, But I Have NEVER Faced Such a Dangerous Opponent Before!” – Perisic’s SHOCKING Admission About Arsenal’s Champions League Run
“We dominated Liverpool and even knocked out Juventus, but to my biggest surprise, I have never faced such a dangerously strong opponent before. Even without Bukayo Saka, they still destroyed us. They are undoubtedly on track to win the Champions League, but there is ONE thing that worries me,” said PSV star Ivan Perisic.
These were the staggering words of the experienced Croatian winger after his team suffered a humbling defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League. Coming into the match, PSV had every reason to believe they could put up a fight. They had already conquered giants like Liverpool in the group stage and sent Juventus packing in the knockout rounds. But what they faced against Arsenal was something entirely different—something that left even a seasoned veteran like Perisic speechless.
Arsenal’s Ruthless Display: A New European Superpower?
Even without their talisman Bukayo Saka, Arsenal played like a team possessed. Their relentless pressing, fluid passing, and devastating finishing tore PSV apart. Players like Martin Ødegaard and Gabriel Jesus orchestrated a masterclass, dismantling the Dutch side with ease. Perisic, who has battled some of the best teams in the world, admitted he had never encountered such an overwhelming force before.
“We prepared well, but they were just too fast, too aggressive, and too precise. It felt like they always had an extra man on the pitch,” Perisic revealed.

The ONE Thing That Worries Perisic
Despite Arsenal’s dominance, Perisic pointed out a crucial concern. “They are incredible, but I wonder… can they keep this up when it truly matters? Champions League football is unpredictable. One off night, one lapse in concentration, and everything can collapse.”
With the quarter-finals looming, Arsenal fans will hope that their team can maintain this blistering form. But as Perisic warned, the biggest challeng
