Perisic Hails Arsenal as UCL Favorites but Issues Warning
PSV star Ivan Perisic has heaped praise on Arsenal after their dominant performance against his team in the Champions League. Despite having faced top clubs like Liverpool and even eliminating Juventus, Perisic admitted he had never encountered a team as dangerous as Arsenal.
“We dominated Liverpool and knocked out Juventus, but to my biggest surprise, I have never faced such a dangerously strong opponent before,” Perisic said. “Even without Bukayo Saka, they still destroyed us.”
The Croatian winger labeled Arsenal as the best team in England right now and his leading contender to win the Champions League. He acknowledged their tactical brilliance, intensity, and squad depth, which make them a formidable force in the competition.
However, Perisic also highlighted a critical concern that could hinder Arsenalβs chances of lifting the trophy. While he didn’t explicitly reveal the issue, he hinted that if not properly addressed, it could lead to them falling short when it matters most.
With Arsenal in outstanding form, their fans will hope Mikel Arteta and his squad can overcome any potential obstacles and fulfill their Champions League ambitions. Could this finally be their year, or will the warning prove prophetic?
