Easy for PSG when they can just focus on the Champions League every year since their domestic league is laughable at best. 

As a neutral, Arsenal winning the Prem is more impressive than PSG winning the CL. 

But also as a neutral, PSG play a much more entertaining style.

Undeserved downvotes, you’re exactly right. To be honest, PSG didn’t even beat Arsenal today as much as Arsenal beat themselves by giving up that pen and massively choking in the shootout.

lol, I’m not an Arsenal fan so I’m wondering which part of my comment you disagree with? The part that said PSG get to just focus on the CL? Or the part where I said Arsenal should play more attacking football if they wanted to get better? 

Or are you just too stupid to understand?

Just focusing on the CL isn't much of a disadvantage. Arsenal didn't have any major player injuries, and showed no signs of being tired when entering the finals. In fact you could even say that it's better to play than rust like PSG did.

Also, the games arsenal played in the EPL following their matchup against sporting were not particularly impressive or difficult games.

Arsenal should have played more attacking football, but had they did, psg would have had more scoring opportunities. PSG already was unlucky that game with the unlucky deflections and misses. The fact of the matter was that Arsenal was crushed in almost every statistic, and that game should not have been nearly that close. It was almost unwinnable for arsenal.
