LIVE: Arsenal vs Monaco
Whilst in England the offer of support for fellow Premier League teams competing in the Champions League is non-existent - it seems over the channel they do things a little differently.
At the start of the Round of 16 first-leg at the Emirates, PSG posted a casual message to the principality club. "Hey @AS_Monaco" it started. The message in French then read "en cas de coup franc ce soir face à @D_Ospina1, tirez-le comme @Ibra_official ;-)", which translates roughly as "If you get a free-kick tonight against David Ospina, score it like Zlatan Ibrahimovic".
The tweet included a video of Ibrahimovic scoring a free-kick past Ospina during the Arsenal goalkeeper's time at Nice.
The message was finished off with the hashtag #TeamFRANCE.
A supportive tweet from Chelsea for Arsenal has not yet been seen.
