Merson Says Arsenal Must Win Big at Home to Beat Real Madrid
Former Arsenal star Paul Merson has shared what he believes the Gunners must do to beat Real Madrid in their Champions League quarter-final clash.
Speaking ahead of Tuesday night’s first leg at the Emirates, Merson said Arsenal must make the most of their home advantage by grabbing a convincing win if they want to stand a chance in Madrid.
According to him, a narrow win won’t be enough. “They need at least a two-goal lead before heading to Spain,” he told Sky Sports. “One goal might not cut it.”
He pointed out that although Real Madrid have been shaky lately, especially in defence, their ability to rise to the occasion in Europe remains a big threat.
“Even when they’re not in top form, they always deliver in the Champions League. That’s what Arsenal should be worried about,” he added.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
