What is the difference now between Arsenal, Barcelona and Real Madrid? They're not in the same group are they?
You think of something that hasn't happened yet they are now in the group stage and Arsenal losing 1x is not a bad thing, I believe they can qualify for the Gunners not to worry Arteta's games and strategies are always interesting.
Don't doubt Arsenal now they look ferocious, even if Real Madrid meet later I have no doubt that Arsenal can win, anything can happen - so I don't think about how Arsenal are now because being in the group now they are not so worried.
Arsenal's stats are much better now, they have a lot of confidence.
Arsenal cannot be underestimated after successfully overthrowing the defending EPL champions and defending UCL champions Man City, Arteta now has the depth of a squad capable of conquering any challenge in various competitions. Even though we know their defeat against Lens was surprising, I agree with you that Arsenal can progress from the group phase this time. With their reputation this season, Arteta squad does have high self-confidence, they just need to improve their mentality to face big clubs in the next round.
The opportunity to meet Real Madrid or other big clubs is very open because they are not in the same group, but I think if there was another option, Arteta would prefer to avoid it. Not without reason, because the chance of beating a club as big as Real Madrid is very small, and the opposite could possibly happen. Beating Madrid is not enough with squad depth, an unbeaten record in the EPL League, or success in beating Man City, it cannot be used as a benchmark for beating Madrid.
Uniquely, in football anything can happen.
On the contrary, I don't see Madrid looking strong in the front line sector. However, in terms of midfielders, they have many options with talented players. So far, Jude Bellingham's contribution deserves appreciation, unfortunately he is not a striker. That's why, there are times when Belingham will encounter obstacles in creating opportunities and scoring goals in every match. after all, we have not been able to measure Madrid's strength so far. as for the teams they beat in La Liga, or the Group phase, most of them were not strong teams. except, Naples. Unfortunately under Rudi Garcia, their performance has declined slightly.
And it is not impossible that Arsenal will be able to match Madrid if these two teams finally meet. After all, they can beat City, why not Real Madrid. Moreover, now Arsenal has upgraded the depth of its squad. The only thing for me that Arsenal lacks is a pure, sharp striker who they can rely on. if they had that, this team would be much better.
what I say is purely based on my point of view, not because I am an Arsenal supporter.
However, we agree that the Gunners only need to develop a stronger mentality. The reason is, almost the entire team is dominated by young players. That's why team mentality and playing stability will be really needed when meeting opponents who have a reputation and are strong, like Madrid. If we compare reputations, it is certain that Madrid is clearly superior to the Gunners. However, when they meet on the field, Arsenal has a chance to overthrow the opposing team.
