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.
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
Poland footballer Robert Lewandowski’s new club has officially been revealed.
It can be noted that the player was involved in the ongoing summer transfer window, with negotiations taking place over his future.
The footballer will be joining Chicago Fire. It can be recalled that he visited the club two weeks ago, and the move has now been confirmed. The information was shared by football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
