Luis Enrique’s team took a 1-0 lead into the break thanks to a goal from Ousmane Dembele. In next Wednesday’s second leg in Paris, the two sides will square off. But Rooney wants Arsenal to be confident in their return match against PSG.
When Mikel Arteta’s squad faces the French Ligue 1 winners next week, the Englishman said to be patient, slow down the game, and clinical.
“I hope Arsenal go on and win the competition,” Rooney said to Amazon Prime Video Sport, adding that the Red Devils must enter the second leg with confidence.
“They must exercise calmness, decrease the pace of play, seize the ball at optimal moments, and demonstrate clinical accuracy. This coming weekend, Arsenal will play host to Bournemouth in the Premier League at Emirates Stadium.

The current Premier League leaders and champions, Liverpool, are ahead of them, and they are in second position.
Midfielder Wilfred Ndidi of Leicester City is attracting interest from three Premier League clubs: Fulham, Crystal Palace, and Everton.
After falling to the Sky Bet Championship, Leicester City are poised to sign Ndidi this summer. A 1-0 loss to champions Liverpool two weeks ago solidified Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side’s relegation.

Last summer, the Nigerian international signed a three-year deal with a £9 million release clause. The midfielder is allegedly also of interest to Al Ahli of the Saudi Pro League. After playing for KRC Genk in the Belgian Pro League, Ndidi moved to Leicester City in January 2017.
