Alejandro Garnacho, Chelsea's winger, spoke openly ahead of their away match against Arsenal in tonight's decisive Carabao Cup tie.
Alejandro Garnacho, the Argentine international winger for the "Blues" Chelsea, is confident his team has a chance to defeat the "Gunners" Arsenal in tonight's second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final and secure a place in the final. He pointed out that since Manchester United managed to win away there, why couldn't his team do the same?
Chelsea lost 2-3 at home to Arsenal in the first leg and now need a win at Emirates Stadium to advance to the final. However, the winger insisted that this is not an impossible task.
Garnacho said, "Everyone knows how difficult it is to play there. When we lost the first game, I saw many people saying that no one has won at Emirates Stadium yet."
"But now I think the perspective is a bit different. If Manchester United can beat them there, we can do it too."
"The goal difference is just one, so if we score one more goal, we will be level with them again."
"This is our best chance to get closer to a trophy right now, and every trophy is important here. So we have to go there with the right attitude and try to win the game."
"If you do that, you will reach the final. It’s really very important."
