In a bold and revealing press conference ahead of Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final clash with Paris Saint-Germain, Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk sent a strong warning to the Gunners—focus on the wrong players, and you’re out.

Reflecting on Liverpool’s own exit at the hands of PSG, Van Dijk admitted a tactical error that cost them dearly. “If Saliba focuses on Dembélé and Barcola, then I’m afraid Arsenal will not make it to the final,” he said. “Their main threat is this particular player, and Saliba needs to focus more on him. That was the same mistake I made that got us eliminated, and I don’t want such to happen to Arsenal anymore.”

Van Dijk’s comments have sparked debate, as he didn’t directly name the player at first—but the stats spoke for themselves. The “particular player” has netted 23 goals this season for PSG, making him the most dangerous man in their frontline.

That player? Randal Kolo Muani.

Often overshadowed by the flashy brilliance of Ousmane Dembélé and the flair of Bradley Barcola, Kolo Muani has been quietly devastating. Van Dijk emphasized that his ability to find space, beat defenders off the ball, and his killer instinct in front of goal is what makes him so lethal.

“Dembélé will dance, Barcola will excite—but Kolo Muani will bury you if you give him space,” Van Dijk said. “Saliba has had an amazing season, but he needs to be vigilant—this is the type of battle that defines a young defender’s career.”

Arsenal’s backline, especially Saliba and Gabriel, have been rock solid in Europe this season. But as they prepare for their biggest test yet, Van Dijk’s warning serves as a crucial piece of advice. Ignore Kolo Muani at your own risk.

If Arsenal are to reach their first Champions League final in nearly two decades, Saliba must learn from Van Dijk’s mistake—and keep his eyes locked on the real threat in PSG’s frontline.
