“Partey’s brilliance cannot be overstated. He is too important to our team. Usually, the cutback, that’s where he stays to mop up, and Dembele scored from there. You could see when he got the yellow card, just look at Declan Rice’s reaction; he was mad because he knew. He is the leg, the energy, that we need in midfield. Respect to Merino, but now we prefer him up front.”
Kelechi expressed optimism that Partey’s individual brilliance will play a huge role in the second leg against PSG.

Supercomputer predicts UCL winner
Earlier, YEN.com.gh reported that Paris Saint-Germain have been tipped as the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League favourite to win the trophy.
According to the latest Opta predictions PSG hold a 41.6% chance of lifting the coveted trophy in Munich on May 31.
This represents a dramatic rise from last week, when their odds stood at just 22%, reflecting how quickly fortunes can change in Europe’s elite competition.
Arsenal had a 31.3% chance of winning the Champions League before the semi-final clash in London, but dropped to 11.2% after suffering a first-leg defeat in the semi-final of the competition.
