Former AC Milan manager Fabio Capello has shared his thoughts on the upcoming Champions League matches, offering strategic advice for Inter Milan against Barcelona and expressing confidence in Arsenal`s ability to stage a comeback against Paris Saint-Germain.
Regarding the Inter-Barcelona clash, Capello emphasized the importance of Inter maintaining an aggressive approach, particularly in the closing stages of the match. He advised against adopting a deep defensive stance, especially when facing talented players like Lamine Yamal.
Capello suggested that Inter should aim to replicate their second-half performance from the previous encounter in Barcelona. He highlighted the potential effectiveness of utilizing wing-backs Dumfries and Dimarco to switch play from right to left, viewing this as a possible key to securing qualification.
Turning his attention to the Arsenal-PSG fixture, Capello expressed belief in Arsenal`s capacity to overturn their 1-0 home defeat. He noted that Arsenal`s cautious approach in the first leg was uncharacteristic and likely influenced by conceding an early goal. Capello anticipates a more assertive performance from Arsenal in Paris, where they have no choice but to attack.
In his closing remarks, Capello praised Italian goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, crediting him as a crucial factor in PSG`s success thus far in the competition. He acknowledged that facing Donnarumma in a potential final would be a formidable challenge for any team.
