PRESS CONFERENCE LIVE ‼️: My Correct Score is (ARSENAL 3— 0 MADRID) “I have faced both Arsenal and Real Madrid this season but I think Arsenal will knock them out for three reasons and here are the reasons”: Man City coach Pep Guardiola has explained THREE reasons Arsenal will beat Real Madrid home and away

WHAT HAPPENED?

Speaking to talkSPORT courtesy of bet365 ahead of their Big Ticket Giveaway, former Invincible and Champions League finalist Campbell has backed the Gunners to reach the final of Europe’s elite club competition, although he believes it may have to happen next season, after a summer of investment. Arsenal face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of this season’s tournament.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Arsenal face heartbreak in the Premier League title race, as they sit a staggering 12 points behind leaders Liverpool, with just eight games to play. As a result, the Champions League may offer the Gunners’ final chance at silverware, but they must overcome a formidable Madrid side boasting the likes of Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe.

WHAT CAMPBELL SAID

He said: “I think in the next couple of years, even this year, there’s a possibility of getting to the final. As long as you keep everybody [from this season] and don’t lose anyone, and then you know, implement and buy some really good players who can really move the team on another level and have that… Have that depth in the squad.

“You know competitions breed success, and I think the club should be comfortable with that; getting competition to breed success, I think that’s key really.”
