Rio Ferdinand, a veteran of Manchester United, has praised Myles Lewis-Skelly, a defender for Arsenal, for his performance in the Gunners’ 2-1 victory over Real Madrid in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League quarterfinal.
At the Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday, Lewis-Skelly played the entire ninety minutes as Arsenal overcame Real Madrid. Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka both scored goals to give Mikel Arteta’s team the victory over the Los Blancos in Spain. Ferdinand talked about Lewis-Skelly’s performance against the hosts, saying the child is unique and very composed. On TNT Sports, Ferdinand said: “I apologize, but is Lewis-Skelly really eighteen?
His date of birth is right, isn’t it? He looks so calm and so cool in and out of possession. “Before the game he was on a call, just talking and chilling. He is special.” Lewis-Skelly will hope to continue his impressive display for Arsenal when they face Ipswich Town in the Premier League this weekend
