Carl Jenkinson has admitted that although Arsenal were the stronger team in their 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night, the French champions could have also won the Champions League contest.
The Gunners, who were looking to win the game to move to the top of Group A, fell behind in the 18th minute at the Emirates Stadium, courtesy of Edinson Cavani’s goal.
Olivier Giroud equalised for the hosts from the spot in first half injury time before Marco Verratti’s own-goal after the break gave the north Londoners the lead.
Alex Iwobi then put the ball into his own net in the 77th minute to make it 2-2, with Cavani missing a glorious opportunity to win the match for PSG late on.
And Jenkinson, who explained that his Arsenal were disappointed at not winning the game, despite being the stronger team, however, acknowledged that PSG could have nicked the match too.

“I think so”, he told the club’s official site, when asked if the result could have gone either way.
“You see Cavani’s chance at the end with his head, they could have nicked it as well.
“But I think we were the stronger team so it’s a bit disappointing when you haven’t won.”
Arsenal now must better PSG’s result in the final group stage game to finish top of the group.
