Former Inter Milan maestro Wesley Sneijder has lauded Arsenal’s technical prowess after the London club secured their place in the UEFA Champions League final. The Gunners confirmed their progression at the expense of Atletico Madrid on Tuesday, with Bukayo Saka netting the only goal in a disciplined 1-0 semi-final victory. Mikel Arteta’s squad, currently spearheading the Premier League title race, now awaits the winner of the clash between Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain to determine their opponent for the showpiece event later this month.
Sneijder, speaking via Ziggo Sport, expressed his admiration for the tactical maturity displayed by the English side against Diego Simeone’s notoriously difficult defensive unit. He emphasized the magnitude of the achievement in the context of the high-caliber competition Arsenal had to navigate to reach the final stage.
“With this team, it is so impressive to reach the final. Leaving all the other world-class teams behind you. I think that is very impressive,” the Dutchman remarked.
