Paul Merson: Arsenal May Fall Short in Champions League Despite Napoli Win
Paul Merson believes Arsenal may not win this season’s UEFA Champions League despite opening their campaign with a 1-0 victory away to Napoli. Martin Ødegaard scored the late winner for Mikel Arteta’s side. The former Arsenal midfielder said the Gunners have the depth to challenge in the Premier League but lack the elite attacking quality needed to overcome Europe’s strongest teams in the latter rounds. Merson argued that signing a player of the calibre of Vinícius Júnior or Julián Álvarez could have provided the extra edge. Arsenal were beaten by Paris Saint-Germain on penalties in last season’s Champions League final.
