Jamie Carragher reportedly wants Arsenal to be drawn against Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals, potentially aiding Liverpool in the Premier League title race.
Despite a loss in the round-of-16 first leg to FC Porto, Arsenal is still anticipated to progress to the quarterfinals, given their strong form. However, Carragher suggests that facing Real Madrid would present a significant challenge for the Gunners, potentially impacting their Premier League campaign.
Real Madrid, as the most successful club in the competition, is a formidable opponent with ambitions to win the Champions League this season. Carragher believes that a challenging tie against Madrid could divert Arsenal’s focus, making it tougher for them to maintain their pursuit of the Premier League title.
Carragher told The Redmen TV: “The problem is that I think [Man City] are so much better than everyone in the Champions League, maybe Real Madrid. I’m desperate for them to get Arsenal in the next round if Arsenal get through. I think it would be great for us if they played in the quarters.
“I know what it’s like playing an English team, it takes a lot out of you, mentally and physically. The press attention is so much greater and the low for one of them to go out. That would be a big help for us with the league title if they played each other in the quarters or the semi-finals.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
Madrid will be tough opponents to face, but there is room for upsets in the Champions League and we can eliminate them if we are paired together.

In as much as Jamie Carragher is entitled to his having a wish thinking dreams, that could see Arsenal drawn to play against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of this season’s Ucl competition. So that his wishful dreams of Carragher on that will be fulfilled.
But I would want to let Carragher knows that, even if Arsenal is drawn to play against Real Madrid in the q/f. The Gunners can eliminate them from the competition to recharge the semi-dual stage and reach it.
And will go ahead to reach the final and win the trophy.
That’s not all. For,, the Gunners have the endearing vast capacity in top quality player personnel to win both the Epl and Ucl titles this season. Irrespective of whether Carrgher’s Ox will be gore if Arsenal won the two titles at season.
But Arsenal will not care nor be bothered. More especially as it is looking like the Gunners are destined to win the biggest title domestically and externally this season. And that’s what will surely come to pass for Arsenal at season’s end.
Surprisingly , I have a feeling Arsenal will get a fair opponent in the Quater and Semi final of this year competition … Arsenal will get to the final of the champions league unscathed. Arsenal will win The champions league “If we get to the Final”.
As for the Epl … Jamie should be wary of Man city in front of him in the next Epl fixtures rather than looking 👀 at whose arsenal is drawn against in the quarter or semis of Champions League
I am confident Arsenal will beat city @home and city will beat Liverpool.
Liverpool Loss against city is Arsenals gain and Arsenal winning against city is Liverpool gain
Arsenal will win this league this season
Sorry Jmaie … Your wish will never become a reality.
