Jorginho makes his opinion on Tottenham’s Champions League pursuit abundantly clear
According to Football Italia, Arsenal midfielder Jorginho hopes that AC Milan defeats Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham and Arsenal are bitter rivals in North London.
Jorginho moved to Arsenal in January from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Last week, Tottenham lost 1-0 to AC Milan at San Siro in the first leg of their Round of 16 UEFA Champions League match.
Next month, the second leg of the match will be played at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
Jorginho played for the Italian clubs Hellas Verona, Sambonifacese (loan), and Napoli.
The midfielder said when questioned about the rivalry between Arsenal and Spurs: “Forza Milan.”
Jorginho added: “The matches with Tottenham are those Arsenal fans look forward to the most. I am sure they will all support Milan.”
Even at home, Tottenham Hotspur may have difficulty defeating AC Milan in the second leg of their UEFA Champions League Round of 16 matchup.
Yes, Tottenham will have the advantage of playing at home, but Milan is a strong team with a 1-0 lead.
Remember that the Rossoneri won the Serie A championship last season.
And Milan will know that they will advance if they keep a clean sheet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
The Italian giants also have significantly more Champions League experience than Tottenham.
