Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta would have been watching the cinematic contest between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League semi-final as Luis Enrique’s side ultimately won 5-4.
On the opposite spectrum to Bayern and PSG, Arsenal have been called boring by several fans and pundits alike throughout the ongoing season.
Thierry Henry highlighted Arsenal’s creativity as one of their weaknesses, which is perhaps why they struggle to entertain the masses.
Gabriel Agbonlahor certainly seems to think so as he had a dig at Mikel Arteta’s tactics while watching Bayern and PSG go head-to-head in a battle for the ages.

Gabriel Agbonlahor hits out at Mikel Arteta during Bayern vs PSG
Agbonlahor initially marveled at just how back-and-forth the clash was between Bayern and PSG on Tuesday night.
“What the hell is going on?”
Gabriel Agbonlahor went on to claim on X that if Arsenal were to face either team in the Champions League final, he would have an extremely defensive approach.
What the hell is going on 😂😂😂😂 Arteta will play 6 centre backs in final and park the bus like you have never seen before LOL

Mikel Arteta has to block the outside noise
Mikel Arteta has no choice but to ignore the outside noise about his Arsenal side as well as his own tactics.
Luis Enrique commented on Arsenal by claiming that Bayern and PSG are superior to them and such statements should ignite the flame within him to go on and make history this season.
If that means that Arsenal are not easy on the eye in either the Premier League or the Champions League, so be it.
The Spaniard’s remit is not to entertain the masses, it is to turn the Gunners from perennial nearly-men into serial winners again. If Arteta manages to do so, Gabriel Agbonlahor will have no choice but to hold his hands up.
