Arteta Hails ‘Unbelievable’ Kai Havertz as Arsenal’s Undroppable Star After PSG Champions League Victory
Mikel Arteta praised Kai Havertz as “unbelievable” following Arsenal’s 2-0 victory over Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Havertz, who has become a key player for the Gunners, opened the scoring with a header from Leandro Trossard’s cross, and Bukayo Saka added a second soon after with a free kick.
Arteta emphasized Havertz’s intelligence and work ethic, saying, “His football brain, the way he understands space, his timing, he brings people together.
His work ethic is incredible as well, and now he is a real threat around the penalty box.” The manager noted Havertz’s growing influence in the team, making him undroppable in Arsenal’s current form.

He also set a personal record by scoring in six consecutive games at the Emirates, and his goal against PSG further cemented his status as a crucial player for Arsenal.
Arteta also highlighted the team’s strength in set-pieces, crediting the coaching staff and players for their commitment to honing this aspect of their game, which has become a game-changer for the club.
Reflecting on the overall performance, Arteta expressed satisfaction with the team’s effort against a challenging opponent like PSG, noting that Arsenal’s ability to control the game without the ball was key to their success.
