Nuno Gomes spoke to the British newspaper Mirror in the preview of tonight’s game against Arsenal, in Rome, in the first leg of the round of 32 of the Champions League.
“We cannot deny that it has been a disappointing season for Benfica. The team lost the League Cup and the Super Cup, the Management and the coach cannot be happy with the performance so far ”, he began by analyzing, highlighting:
“But a club like Benfica always has great players and, when they do, things can always change. The same is true at Arsenal: they are having a bad season, but they should always be considered one of the favorites to win the Europa League due to their history. I can’t bet on the winner of the game. Without the fans in the stands and on neutral ground, neither team has an advantage over the other. It is difficult to know.
Asked about the players to look out for at Benfica, the former striker said: “We have players with a lot of experience in the Premier League, such as Jan Vertonghen, Nicolas Otamendi and Adel Taraabt. And in the attack is Darwin Núñez. He’s not playing his best, but he’s strong, powerful and can cause trouble for Arsenal, I hope! ».
