“He was electric last night in the champions league, he’s always a threat to the defenders every time he holds the ball in his legs”- Arsenal Legend Patrick Vieira blasts Arsenal for selling £9M player in 2020 who was absolutely amazing for his club last night in the champions league
‘He is electric’… Player Arsenal sold for £9m was absolutely amazing in the Champions League last night
While Arsenal awaits their Champions League knockout tie scheduled for next week, a former player stole the spotlight in last night’s action.
Under the guidance of Mikel Arteta, Arsenal anticipates a thrilling clash against FC Porto in a two-legged encounter, set to kick off next Wednesday following this weekend’s fixture against Burnley.
Though the season’s climax isn’t imminent, the trajectory suggests the journey toward the decisive phase.
Arteta faces a pivotal decision regarding the utilization of Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, and Gabriel Jesus in the upcoming matches. Jesus’s participation hinges on his fitness, making the selection dilemma even more intriguing.
However, amidst the anticipation, a player once under Arteta’s watch showcased stellar performance last night.
Matteo Guendouzi, who departed Arsenal officially for £9m in 2022, initially joining Marseille before his recent loan move to Lazio with a purchase obligation, stole the spotlight in Lazio’s 1-0 victory over Bayern Munich.
Commanding the midfield for the entirety of the match, Guendouzi’s outstanding display earned him the Player of the Match accolade, leaving Italian outlet Lazio News profoundly impressed.
In their assessment, they lauded Guendouzi’s electrifying presence and highlighted his ability to seamlessly transition between attack and defense, underscoring the invaluable experience he brings to the team at such a high level of competition.
As Guendouzi, at a mere 24 years old, continues to impress, one can’t help but wonder if Arsenal prematurely parted ways with a budding talent. However, it’s evident that the fit between Guendouzi and Arteta’s vision for the team was not ideal, suggesting a clash in ideologies or personalities.
While Arsenal supporters may find themselves taken aback by Guendouzi’s stellar Champions League performance, they can find solace in the belief that parting ways was the right decision.
Nonetheless, as Guendouzi flourishes elsewhere, Arsenal may already have their eyes set on the emergence of their next midfield sensation.
