Commentator slams Arsenal-Sporting: one of our generation's worst ties | OneFootball

The draw between Sporting and Arsenal (0-0), played at the Emirates Stadium, did not leave a good impression in England, with several voices criticizing the quality of the spectacle on show in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

Gabriel Agbonlahor, former Aston Villa striker, analyzed the match on a TalkSPORT radio panel. The former England international did not hide his disappointment with the goalless draw, especially when compared with the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid (4-3).

In his analysis, he began by praising that other clash before contrasting it with what he saw in London: “We were treated to an old-school classic, like something from the early 2000s. [...] It went from end to end, nobody wanted to defend. [...] It was unbelievable. Missed chances at both ends.”

He then directly pointed to the lack of quality in the tie between the Lions and the Gunners, delivering a fairly scathing criticism: “I was listening to Sam Matterface and thinking: ‘Poor Ally and Darren Fletcher. They are watching one of the worst ties of our generation.’”
