— Nov 6th 2024A goal return for Hakan Calhanoglu, who sealed the victory against Arsenal: the words of the Nerazzurri midfielder at the end of the match
A decisive strike from Hakan Calhanoglu, who converted his 19th penalty out of 19 taken with the Nerazzurri, securing the Champions League victory against Arsenal. Here are the words of the number 20 at the end of the match.
“I think today’s match was very difficult, Arsenal is a very strong team, but in the end, what matters is the result. We defended very well, our defenders did a great job. The 19 penalties scored out of 19? I hope it continues this way, I don’t want to miss. Today I tried something new, I watched the goalkeeper until the very end because they know I normally strike hard, but today was different. Sometimes we suffer more, sometimes less, today we suffered a bit, but we worked well with a lot of sacrifice. Coming back? After three weeks, it was a bit tough to return. With these two games, I’ve played 90 minutes, I needed some minutes in my legs, but now I’m ready for Napoli”
