Chukwueze Shines in AC Milan’s 3-1 Win Over Club Brugge
Samuel Chukwueze expressed his joy after playing a key role in AC Milan’s UEFA Champions League win over Club Brugge. Paulo Fonseca’s team secured a 3-1 victory against the Belgian champions at San Siro on Tuesday night.
Chukwueze, who replaced Rafael Leao after 60 minutes, assisted Tijjani Reijnders’ third goal. Reflecting on the match, the 25-year-old said, “It feels amazing to regain confidence after a tough month. Scoring and providing an assist is very rewarding for me and crucial for the team.”
Looking ahead, he emphasized the significance of their next matches, particularly against Real Madrid and Bologna.
Arsenal legend Paul Merson states to team that the match with Real Madrid is not over yet and to be prepared.
Speaking on the recent win of Arsenal against Real Madrid the legend shares “To be fair, all throughout this Champions League quarter-final fixtures, there have been some quality goals and performances.”
“I don’t think the Arsenal vs Real Madrid tie is over yet though. That makes this a tricky game for the Gunners.”
“Real Madrid’s front-three will be better in that second leg and if they can find an early goal, the pressure will be on.”
The match day 12 fixture has been rescheduled by the Nigeria National League, NNL. The match was scheduled to play on the 13th of April but has been moved to the 11th of April.
The match is reported to hold in Uyo Township Stadium, Akwa Ibom. The game being rescheduled was announced by the president of NNL.
“Yes, our match against Godswill Akpabio United has been shifted to Friday at the Uyo Township Stadium,” Onyedika told Completesports.
“We’ve received communication from the NNL to that effect, and it’s to give us ample time to prepare for our Federation Cup Round of 16 match against Kwara United in Benin next Wednesday.”
Former Real Madrid director Predrag Mijatovic has suggested that Vinicius Junior is playing with fear since the arrival of Kylian Mbappe at the club. Mijatovic believes that Mbappe’s presence has impacted the Brazilian forward’s performances, particularly in the wake of Madrid’s heavy loss to Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.
Arsenal dominated the second half, scoring three goals, including two stunning free kicks from Declan Rice and a third from Mikel Merino. Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s attack, led by Vinicius, struggled to make an impact.
Mijatovic feels that Vinicius’ uncertainty stems from the pressure of competing with Mbappe for a key role in the team. He told Cadena SER, “Since Mbappe joined, Vinicius seems unsure of himself, especially when trying to prove who is the better player between them. They haven’t delivered as expected.”
Despite making 43 appearances for Madrid this season, with 19 goals and 14 assists, Vinicius was largely ineffective against Arsenal, failing to complete any of his three attempted dribbles. With the second leg at the Santiago Bernabeu approaching, all eyes will be on Vinicius as he looks to bounce back.
