AFCON 2025
Former Super Eagles midfielder Mutiu Adepoju has named four players capable of wreaking havoc on Arsenal ahead of the highly anticipated Champions League clash at the Santiago Bernabeu tonight.
Real Madrid are in a difficult situation as they have a three-goal deficit to overturn to stand a chance of qualifying for the semi-finals.
Ahead of the mouthwatering showdown, Mutiu Adepoju told Nigerian football news website All Nigerian Soccer that the tie is not over.
Mutiu Adepoju believes Real Madrid have what it takes to do a comeback, as he mentioned four players capable of doing the damage.
However, he acknowledged that it is going to be a difficult task given that Arsenal are a good side as well.
Technically, they (Real Madrid) have a chance to come back. They’ve done it several times, but it’s not going to be an easy task because Arsenal are a good team too. That doesn’t mean Real Madrid can’t come back.
If Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Valverde, Rodrygo, and others can perform, I believe the Champions League will motivate the players — especially when they’re playing at home. The players always live up to expectations when it matters most.
Mutiu Adepoju is Nigeria’s highest goalscorer in La Liga history with 24 goals in 175 matches. Unfortunately, the midfielder never featured for the first team as he played for the reserves during his three-year stint at the club.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid have announced that the roof of the iconic Santiago Bernabeu stadium will be closed to make the atmosphere in the stadium teriffying for the visitors.
