As a former Arsenal player, Alexis Sánchez’s rivalry with Tottenham runs deep. And he’s reminded of it again now that Spurs face Marseille in a crucial Champions League match.
As a former Arsenal player, Alexis Sánchez’s rivalry with Tottenham runs deep. And he’s reminded of it again now that Spurs face Marseille in a crucial Champions League match.
Alexis can remember the Tottenham games quite fondly. In total, he pitched in 11 duels, winning four times, drawing four times and walking away with defeat three times. He also scored 3 goals.
“I have a great love for Arsenal after my time there, beating Spurs was always a great pleasure. It was special, I will always remember those days,” Alexis said in a press conference before the last Champions League group stage match.
There, his Marseille will face Tottenham, and although they are in last place, they can still qualify. First Spurs have 8 points, Sporting and Frankfurt have 7, Marseille are on six.
This is the match of the year for the French side. If Marseille can advance, it would be a great achievement. And all they need to do is win. Then they don’t have to look back at Sporting’s second leg against Frankfurt.
Moreover, if Marseille win and the second leg ends in a draw, Payet and co. will go from first place. No other result puts Marseille into the eighth round. In the event of a draw and a Sporting loss, Marseille would go to the Europa League.
“This match goes beyond sport. It is also very important for the whole city. I am here to make history with the club,” Sanchez added.
