Following a 4-0 UEFA Champions League defeat to Arsenal on Wednesday, PSV Eindhoven manager Peter Bosz has labeled the Gunners as one of the best teams in the world.
The Gunners made an emphatic comeback to Europe’s prestigious event with a dominant performance and result. Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Jesus, and Martin Odegaard all scored to cap off a great evening at the Emirates Stadium.
Mikel Arteta’s side were the better team on the night, successfully keeping PSV quiet after they had won all four league encounters this season.
Arsenal are already overwhelming favourites to advance to the knockout phase after a 1-1 draw between Sevilla and RC Lens.
Following the game, Bosz praised Arsenal and conceded there wasn’t much his side could have done.
“The difference in quality was just too big tonight,” he said.
“If we were to lie in front of the box we would have conceded to them too. We did not defend well in our own box, we were not short. But that also has to do with their quality.
“Arsenal are one of the best teams in the world, we are not. I don’t blame the boys.”

Arteta himself was full of praise for his players after they continued their impressive start to the season.
“It was a beautiful night after such a long time,” he told reporters.
“We wanted to produce the right performance to win the game. It was great to see the atmosphere and the Champions League music.
“Everyone was getting a bit emotional before it. We showed in both boxes today I think we were exceptional.
“That was the difference today I think.”
