Arsenal have already accumulated 67 points so would require another six points (73) to be absolutely certain of Champions League qualification. That works out to be two wins. Five points - one win and two draws - should also be enough given their superior goal difference.

Paris St Germain have been labelled a collection of talented individuals with little collective backbone in recent years but they have turned the corner this season and on Tuesday against Arsenal in the Champions League looked like a team with a masterplan.

The Gunners, who have never won the Champions League, last reached the semi-finals in 2009 where they suffered a 4-1 aggregate defeat by Manchester United. Managed by Arsene Wenger, they also lost the 2006 final to Barcelona.
