Arteta Tells Arsenal to Give It All in Champions League Showdown
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has made it clear—his players need to be ready to lay everything on the line if they want a shot at the Champions League final.
The Gunners face a tough test on Wednesday as they head to Paris to take on PSG in the second leg of their semi-final. They’re chasing a comeback after falling 1-0 in the first leg, with history on the line—a win would mark just their second ever Champions League final appearance.
Speaking to ESPN, Arteta couldn’t hide his emotions ahead of the big night at Parc des Princes.
“It’s excitement, it’s that feeling of goosebumps, just wanting the day to come,” he said. “We’re ready, we believe, and this is a rare chance—to play in a Champions League final. When you’re this close, you’ve got to be ready to give it everything.” In a major boost for the squad, Thomas Partey returns after missing the first leg through suspension.
Ghanaian Referee, Daniel Laryea, who officiated the Nigeria vs Morocco game in AFCON gets interviews and shared his experience.
The referee reveals how it was his first time in a semi final and was kind of nervous. “I’ve been to three AFCON tournaments, but this is the first time I’ve been in a semi-final.”
“So when coaches choose you for that game, they know your skills and what you can do. But of course, you feel a little nervous because of the level of the match.”
Nigerian Footballer, Bright Osayi-Samuel , react to match as Super Eagles lose to Morocco.
The player calls out CAF for their referee appointment. He shares how the Ghanaian Referee was tough on the field and made bad choices.
“One thing I would say is that the referee was really bad. I’m not saying that was the reason we lost. He is making really bad choices and it’s really tough to watch because we have referees like this in big games like today.
He then praises Morocco for a good game “But Morocco did really well.”
Super Eagles Coach, Eric Chelle speaks and shared why Nigeria lost the AFCON match to Morocco.
It can be noted that the match was held on the 14th of January, 2026. Nigeria lost the match with a draft in the penalties, 4-2.
During a recent interview, Chelle shared his observations about the match and shared why they lost.
“From a technical point of view, the Super Eagles weren’t at the same level as we displayed in our other matches.”
“I don’t want to say the reason was fatigue, but the truth is that we lacked movement and power.”
