After rejecting Liverpool last summer and then joining Arsenal a year later, Spanish midfielder Martin Zubimendi has made a bizarre claim about the Reds' Champions League exit at the hands of eventual winners PSG.

Speaking on Arsenal's pre-season tour, Zubimendi explained what he felt needed to improve from last season if the Gunners are to overhaul Liverpool and win major silverware for the first time under Mikel Arteta.

In reality, of course, Liverpool actually beat PSG in Paris, albeit with a stunning performance from Alisson Becker?
