Arsenal manager Renee Slegers emphasized the benefits of playing their Champions League quarterfinal second leg against Real Madrid at the Emirates Stadium, citing improved pitch conditions compared to the muddied surface at Estadio Alfredo di Stefano. Slegers noted that while they must adapt to challenges, favorable conditions are essential for their playing style. Following an earlier defeat in Madrid, Arsenal aims to leverage home advantage, especially with strong fan support, as they seek silverware this season after exiting domestic cups. They recently recorded a significant 4-0 win over Liverpool, showcasing their potential at home.
"We have a style of play where we want to be on the ball a lot, where we want to move the ball ... passes, and of course it's going to be easier on a golf course and on rocks."
"I think us together with the fans, when we're at our best, we can create something magical and they give us that extra edge."
