Arsenal’s goal keeper, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 played extraordinarily.
The North London club went on to lose by four goals to nil at the San Siro and Ibrahimovic went on to score Milan’s fourth goal from the spot, while he helped set up two of the other goals that his side scored.
Szczesny, who was beaten more time than he would have liked to, admits that the Italian side got their tactics spot on and that they deserved to win in the game.
He also feels that the experience that Milan possess made them the favourites to go in the game and that they managed to use this experience to overcome Arsenal.
The keeper is quoted to have said: “I think everyone was up for it, and they knew how to play the game, but they were the better team on the night and that's the story of the day”
“I don't think it's a surprise. They have some of the best attacking players in the world.”
He then went on to applaud Ibrahimovic and his performance in the game. Szczesny feels that quality which the Italian side possessed up front made them impossible stop.
The Gunners keeper then went on to add: “When you're playing against Ibra, he's up there as the best striker we've played against. They had quality up front and used it very well.”
Nonetheless, Szczesny has not given up just yet. The keeper feels that the tie is far from over and should http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 manage to produce their best performance to date, they could potentially make it to the next round of the tournament.
“We have to keep fighting, pick ourselves up, get the confidence back and challenge in the other competitions and in the second leg of this tie too.”
At the moment it seems quite unlikely for Arsenal to get back in the tie. The team is trailing by four goals to Milan and the Italian side are more than likely to hold onto their lead in the second leg, as they look to progress to the next round of the tournament.
