Arsenal star Bukayo Saka was careful with his words when speaking about his side's tactics for their must-win match against Paris Saint-Germain.

On Wednesday, Arsenal will play their biggest match of the season as they travel to the Parc des Princes to play French giants PSG in a crucial Champions League semi-final second leg.

The first leg of the clash at the Emirates ended as a 1-0 win to the visitors, meaning that the Gunners will have to come from behind if they hope to have any chance of lifting their first-ever Champions League trophy.

Ahead of the match, Arsenal star boy Saka spoke about how he and his teammates are preparing, and he gave a very careful and telling response when asked for their tactics.

Although Arsenal's front three were largely ineffective in the first leg, fans will no doubt be looking to Saka to play a key role in coming back in Paris next week.

The star winger has been vital to Arsenal all season, despite spending over three months sidelined by a hamstring injury, but he's not prepared to give anything away going into the Champions League match.

When asked by Sky Sports presenter Joe Thomlinson what Arsenal's tactics for the second leg were, Saka laughed and replied: "I'm not telling you big man, i'm not telling you!

"We're preparing for Bournemouth, we want to win that game, and after that's done we'll focus fully on Paris and give our all to that."

Reacting to Saka's comments, one Arsenal fan claimed: "I already know Arteta’s been locked in a room coming up with new tactics like a mad scientist."

While one added: "He’s got something for us man I know it!"

And another wrote: "We'll actually cook in Paris, I'm sure of it."

With Barcelona and Inter Milan currently tied 3-3 after a thrilling first leg in Spain, it remains to be seen who Arsenal could potentially meet in the final should they produce a comeback victory over PSG.

However, with the two sides playing each other on Tuesday at the San Siro, both Arsenal and PSG will know exactly who has made it to the final before they even kick a ball on Wednesday night in Paris.
