Chris Sutton: Real Madrid No Threat to Arsenal

London, April 2, 2025 — Former Premier League striker and football pundit Chris Sutton has expressed confidence in Arsenal’s ability to defeat Real Madrid in their upcoming UEFA Champions League clash.

In a recent statement, Sutton said:
“They’ll focus on Real — I think it’s a very beatable opponent for Arsenal. They can absolutely win over two legs.”

Sutton, who played as a forward for clubs including Blackburn Rovers, Chelsea and Celtic, is now a regular pundit on UK football broadcasts. Known for his candid and often bold opinions, he has backed Arsenal to overcome one of Europe’s most decorated clubs.

Arsenal’s European Form

Arsenal have shown strong form in Europe this season and are heading into the quarter-finals with momentum. Mikel Arteta’s squad features a mix of experienced internationals and promising young talent, and their domestic performances have mirrored their European success.

Real Madrid, while historically dominant in the Champions League, have shown signs of vulnerability in recent matches, which Sutton believes could give Arsenal the upper hand across two legs.

Sutton’s remarks come as the football world anticipates one of the most high-profile quarter-final matchups of the 2024–25 Champions League season.
