SEVEN THINGS LEARNT FROM ARSENAL 3 - 0 REAL MADRID - BY SAYO ALUKO
SPORTS - Posted on: 9th Apr. 2025 at 9:47AM
1] I never thought the day would come when I'd have good words for our London Juniors; but after 138 years, that day is here. Take a bow, Arsenal Football Club. You made the boys from Madrid look like first-day interns on your turf; you made defending champions look like pawns in a deafening circus. In MC Oluomo's voice, many "kundus" to you.
2] We all knew it'll take something beyond special to defeat this Madrid, and in a 17-minute blitz, we saw special coloured in perfection and adorned in irresistible beauty. My God, those goals were too good! The technique? Riveting. The timing? Fitting. The moment? Frozen in time.
3] Declan Rice. What a baller! What a baller!!! I must say, a fast learner too; my boy, you watched Reece James do it last week, right??? But bants aside, I now see reasons Arsenal's set-piece coach was honoured with murals around Emirates and across North London. Did you see how he perfectly called the first goal? Omo!
4] In fact, top 6:
- 1 - Bend it like Juninho
- 2 - Bend it like Carlos
- 3 - Bend it like Messi
- 4 - Bend it like Beckham
- 5 - Bend it like Cristiano
- 6 - Bend it like DECLAN!
5] I give it to Arsenal fans in the stadium. The were the 12th and 13th players on that pitch tonight. They shouted their voices hoarse in a show of support that generated mania and frenzy resembling that of a pentecostal revival. Right befire kickoff and down to when the goals came, they bawled, and I'm sure their needful noise contributed burdening weight on the shoulders of the Madrid players. I mean, it's been a while we've seen Vini or Mbappe denied sprint this way. They must have felt heavy under that manic noise. Even a Kremlin wall would have cracked under such. So, another "kundus" to Arsenal fans for their sheer belief against the gradient.
6] From the Madrid front, I pick out Thibaut Courtois. He was amazing. Were it not for him. Arsenal would have done a PSV on Madrid with easier finesse.
7] Forget it pundits, nothing will happen at the Bernabeu. The tie is over. "But this is Madrid, Champions' league royalty hjshshhsbnskkksjsjs...." Ohhh God, I say, forgerrit.
The tie is over.
