While there is truth to that reputation, a closer look at the data reveals a team with far greater attacking depth and tactical nuance than many assume.\n\nThe Gunners have indeed set a Premier League record this season, netting an astonishing 17 goals from corner kicks. This remarkable efficiency from dead-ball situations has become a hallmark of their play. However, their recent form suggests a shift in approach. In their last 15 matches across all competitions, they have scored just once from a set piece, indicating a potential decline in this specific area of strength.\n\nMore importantly, Arsenal's offensive capabilities extend well beyond corners. In the Champions League, they have found the back of the net 29 times in 14 matches, averaging more than two goals per game. This prolific scoring has been achieved even without the consistent availability of key creative forces like Bukayo Saka and Martin Ödegaard for several crucial fixtures.\n\nDomestically, their numbers are equally impressive. With 67 goals scored and 60.6 expected goals generated in the Premier League, Arsenal ranks in the top three for both metrics. This demonstrates a consistent ability to create and convert high-quality chances, challenging the perception of them as a primarily defensive unit.\n\nDefensively, the statistics are formidable. Arsenal has conceded only 6 goals in 14 Champions League matches and boasts the best defensive record in the English top flight, with just 26 goals against in 35 league games. This solidity forms the bedrock of their success, but it does not come at the expense of attacking intent.\n\nFor their opponents, Paris Saint-Germain, the challenge is multifaceted. While PSG must be wary of Arsenal's set-piece threat, they also face a side that has shown tactical evolution. Arsenal has recently incorporated more ground-based combinations from corners, a hybrid approach that could catch defenses off guard, as it did in a recent 1-0 victory over Newcastle.\n\nPSG's own defensive record in Europe offers a glimmer of hope. The French champions have kept only five clean sheets in the Champions League since September, though three of those came in the knockout stages against tough opposition. This suggests they can raise their level when it matters most.\n\nAs the final approaches, the narrative around Arsenal deserves updating. They are not merely a team that grinds out 1-0 wins from set pieces. They are a balanced, potent side capable of scoring from open play, defending with discipline, and adapting their tactics. PSG will need to prepare for a complete opponent, not just a stereotype.\n\nBased on reporting from Foot - actualités, mercato, info & vidéo en continu.","news","Arsenal enters the Champions League final against PSG with a reputation for set-piece goals and defensive solidity, but their attacking prowess and tactical flexibility tell a more complete story.","326222707295260672","Gent","327728120100556801","326135625054949376","Premier League","327052652745592832","Gent vs Anderlecht","2026-05-07T06:10:00Z","arsenal-s-tactical-evolution-more-than-just-set-piece-specialists-ahead-of","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002FNon-arsenal-n-est-l-equipe-a-laquelle-vous-pensez-les-trois-cliches-dont-le-psg-devra-se-mefier-avant-la-finale-de-la-ligue-des-champions\u002F1673696#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257545968619520","Arsenal",[61,50,45,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71],"326257545754710016","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255038034874368","326255038395584512","326257536078450688","326222712496197632","326222713142120448",[62,51,46,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80],"Newcastle","Paraguay","Lesotho","FSV Mainz 05","Rosenborg","Paris Saint Germain","Netherlands","Canada","Arsenal's Tactical Evolution: More Than Just Set-Piece Specialists Ahead of Champions League Final",[83,108,125,148],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":48,"excerpt":84,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":85,"leagueId":53,"leagueName":54,"matchId":86,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":87,"slug":88,"sourceName":89,"sourceURL":90,"teamId":91,"teamName":92,"teamIds":93,"teamNames":100,"title":107},"After 14 seasons, Russell Wilson retires from the NFL to join CBS Sports as an analyst.
