Ian Wright called Arsenal to give their ladies team a parade after their Champions League triumph – and has labeled the failure of the men to win silverware a “shame”.
Arsenal defeated Favorites Barcelona 1-0 in the Estadio Jose Alavade in Lisbon on Saturday evening thanks to a 74th minute goal of Stina Blackstenius. The Gunners insured their first European trophy in 18 years.
The men's side reached the semi-final of the Champions League before he lost to Paris Saint Germain and was unable to keep Liverpool pace in the Premier League title race. They also fell to a semi -final defeat against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup and were dumped from the FA Cup by Manchester United.
And former Gunners -Spits Wright insisted on TNT -Sport after the triumph for the ladies: “It saved the club!”
He said: “The shame not to win anything this season if we played so well with the men. The ladies have saved the club. We have something to celebrate.
“They need a parade. They have Barcelona defeated in the Champions League. Nobody gave them a Chance-Those have on average four goals per game. Everyone has written them off. They deserve all the praises they get because this is a wonderful achievement.
“Look how far it got. I remember that the Champions League was in Boreham Wood and where they are now, Arsenal wins. It's great.”
Arsenal has announced that parties take place on Monday on the Armory Square outside the Emirates Stadium, starting at 10 a.m., planned for around 11:40 with a trophy lift planned for around 11:40. The capacity will be limited to 10,000 fans for safety reasons.
Wright also admitted that his heart “became funny” while he was afraid of how Renee Sleers Zijde saw seven minutes added time to seal the victory.
“I can't believe it,” he added. “This is the first time I watched a game where my heart became funny. When we scored, I thought:” Oh my God, this happens “. I am glad they gave them a chance, especially after the last few games.
“I was worried, with the amount of goals we admit. Today everyone did the work. That is what it needed against Barcelona.
“I thought it would be one of those games where we create the opportunities – that we can be punished for this. Because you have to punish this side of Barcelona. In the end I thought they didn't show up, and you have to take advantage of that.”
