The top two are tied on 11 points in Group A, but PSG’s two away goals at the Emirates Stadium were enough to tip the head-to-head record between the sides in favour of the French champions.
Wenger frustrated by PSG draw
PSG can guarantee top spot with a victory at home to Ludogorets on matchday six, thereby securing favourable seeding in the knock-out stages, and Emery feels they would fully deserve it.
“Getting out of here in first place is important,” he said. “The team deserved a draw and deserved to be first.
“Today was a good test to see how we are as a team on the field. I’m happy about it.
“We did a good job putting pressure on a team that likes to have the ball. We must appreciate the work of [Edinson] Cavani, [Blaise] Matuidi and Lucas [Moura].
“The result is just. It would have been nice to score one of our clear chances just after we made it 2-2, but the 2-2 is right result.”
PSG can now turn their attentions back to Ligue 1, as they look to close the three-point gap to surprise leaders Nice when they face Lyon on Sunday.
