Former Napoli ace Gaetano Fontana has pointed out Arsenal’s weakness ahead of their Europa League clash. The Gunners are set to take on the Serie A giants in their next match in the quarter-final stage of the competition, which is one of the most highly anticipated matches of the season. Arsenal will look to make amends for their loss in the Europa League final last season at the hands of Atletico Madrid and qualify for the Champions League after a gap of two consecutive seasons.
Speaking to Tutto Napoli, Fontana said, “They are a young, carefree and very talented team, with immense quality from midfield onwards.”
He added, “Their limitation is their defence and Napoli will have to press from the front and attack. And take advantage of opportunities that they will surely create.”
The Gunners have looked vulnerable away from home in the last two rounds of the competition but have done well to come back in their own backyard. Now it is to be seen how they cope with the might of one of the best attacking sides in the Serie A when they take on Napoli in the next round.
