English football expert and former "Manchester City" captain Micah Richards praised "Arsenal"'s performance this season. He considers Mikel Arteta's team the main contender to win the Champions League. However, Richards urged the Londoners not to be complacent, reminding them that the team has not won any trophies yet. Reports goal.com.
According to Richards, "Arsenal"'s style of play might be more effective in European competitions than in the domestic league. In the "Premier League", opponents often choose defensive tactics and defend tightly against "Arsenal". In the Champions League, games are more open, which suits the "Gunners"' attacking football. The expert also highlighted the team's effective use of set-pieces.
Nevertheless, Richards urged "Arsenal" fans not to get too excited. According to him, the decisive part of the season is still ahead, and the team must prove its strength in important matches. The path for "Arsenal" in the Champions League looks relatively easy, as they will face "Bayer Leverkusen" in the playoffs and are currently avoiding direct clashes with other giants of the tournament.
In the end, Richards admitted that "Arsenal"'s squad and form are sufficient to compete for trophies. However, history only remembers the winners, so Arteta's players must show the results of their hard work at the end of the season. "Arsenal" fans are pinning their hopes on the team achieving historic results.
