The Gunners picked up an impressive 2-0 win against the French giants in their second Champions League game of the season.
Kai Havertz scored and was outstanding, while Bukayo Saka added to his goal tally as well in the first half.
But, the one performance that impressed us a lot is that of Timber, who started at right-back against PSG on Tuesday night.
William Saliba’s new nickname for Arsenal star Jurrien Timber
Arsenal signed Timber from Ajax in the summer of 2023.
The Dutchman made an instant impact in the famous red and white, producing a few eye-catching performances in the Gunners’ pre-season tour in the United States.
Just when it looked like Timber was going to have an amazing season, the defender suffered a very serious knee injury that sidelined him for almost all of last campaign.
That was such a shame, but Timber has been fit since the start of this term and his performances have been nothing short of incredible.
The 23-year-old started and played the first 45 minutes against PSG at the Emirates on Tuesday night. Timber was sensational, so much so that Bradley Barcola, who is one of the best dribblers around, couldn’t get past him.
After the game, the Dutch international took to Instagram to celebrate the win. William Saliba gave him a new nickname in the comments.
“Big boss,” he wrote.
Did Jurrien Timber suffer an injury during Arsenal vs PSG?
Timber was withdrawn at half-time during Arsenal’s game against PSG on Tuesday night.
Jakub Kiwior was brought on in place of the Dutchman, and Riccardo Calafiori moved across the pitch to play as a right-back for the remainder of the game.
Arsenal fans have been worried about Timber since. The last thing he needs is another injury after spending such a long time on the sidelines.
After the game, when asked why he was substituted, Arteta revealed that Timber felt a muscular issue. The Arsenal boss claimed he didn’t want to take any risks and took him off immediately.
It remains to be seen if Timber’s injury is a serious one.
