For Real Madrid vs. Arsenal, Gallas stated, “the term ‘big game’ is too underwhelming; it will be massive.”
Mikel Arteta’s men have a huge advantage going into the second leg, having beaten Real Madrid 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium last week.
Despite this, Gallas is not convinced that his former team will definitely go through to the semi-finals, as he expressed disappointment about their inconsistency.
“Arsenal don’t have a choice but to perform at the same level as last week… The result was spectacular. However, I’m a little let down by Arsenal.
They drew 1-1 with Brentford following that world-class performance against Real Madrid.
Arsenal isn’t reliable enough, so you never know what they’ll do. Since they are 3-0 ahead, there is no question that they must qualify.
However, the atmosphere created by the Bernabeu differs from that of most stadiums. Real Madrid is the team that can salvage a 3-0 loss, he continued.
DAILY POST reports that the last time Real Madrid played Arsenal in Europe was in the quarterfinals of the 2006 Champions League which the Gunners won 1-0 on aggregate. Thierry Henry gave Arsene Winger’s side the victory.
