Jorginho could struggle against Bellingham in potential Real Madrid clash

ESPN pundit Stuart Robson has stirred up debate with his recent assertion that Jorginho would be outmatched if Arsenal were to come up against Jude Bellingham’s Real Madrid in the Champions League.

Despite Jorginho’s recent stellar performances for the Gunners, Robson contends that facing a talent like Bellingham requires a different approach.

Arsenal’s form in the Premier League has been commendable, although a setback against Porto in the Champions League highlighted potential challenges ahead.

Looking ahead to potential matchups, Robson suggests that Jorginho may struggle against Bellingham’s prowess.

After claiming Arsenal would win against Real Madrid, Robson said on ESPN:

“The one thing that Arteta would have to do, he can’t play Jorginho up against Bellingham.

“He’d have to bring Rice back to play against Bellingham. That would be a great battle.

“I wouldn’t fancy Jorginho against Bellingham.”

While acknowledging Jorginho’s contributions to Arsenal’s successes, Robson proposes alternatives for facing Bellingham, advocating for a midfield duo of Declan Rice and Thomas Partey to counter Real Madrid’s formidable lineup.

Robson’s comments have sparked discussion among fans and pundits alike, with opinions divided on whether Jorginho could effectively handle Bellingham’s threat.

Despite the debate, Robson’s analysis sheds light on the tactical considerations Arsenal may face in future Champions League fixtures.
