PSG is preparing for the Champions League final against Arsenal. Luis Enrique's squad has chosen an unconventional method to counter the opponent's dangerous set-piece attacks. During training, goalkeepers are practicing claiming the ball under physical pressure using rugby shields. This is reported by Goal.com .
Ahead of the final in Budapest, PSG is aiming to defend their title. Mikel Arteta's Arsenal is known for their efficiency in set-piece situations. For this reason, the French club's coaching staff is using special obstacles to prepare goalkeepers for crowded and physical battles in the penalty area.
This season, Arsenal has scored many goals from set-pieces in the Premier League and European competitions. To neutralize this strength, PSG coaches are training goalkeepers to compete in aerial duels alongside their defenders.
Recall that PSG reached the final after defeating Bayern in the semi-finals. In the decisive match at Puskás Aréna in Budapest on May 30, PSG will attempt to become the first team since Real Madrid to win the Champions League trophy in consecutive years.
