“I Know Vinicius and Mbappe Are Afraid of Facing Saliba and Gabriel, But I’m Not Concerned” – Rodrygo Names the ONE Arsenal Star Who Will Give Him a Nightmare in Their Champions League Showdown!The anticipation for the upcoming Champions League clash between Arsenal and Real Madrid is reaching fever pitch, and one of Los Blancos’ biggest attacking threats, Rodrygo, has just made a bold claim that has caught everyone’s attention. While many expect Arsenal’s defensive duo of William Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães to be Madrid’s biggest concern, Rodrygo has revealed that he is unfazed by them. Instead, there is one Arsenal player who he believes will make life incredibly difficult for him on the pitch.Speaking in a recent interview, Rodrygo dismissed any fear of facing Saliba and Gabriel, despite their reputation as one of the Premier League’s most dominant defensive partnerships.

However, Rodrygo had another name in mind—Takehiro Tomiyasu.Yes, the Japanese full-back, who has been in outstanding form lately, is the one causing concern for Rodrygo ahead of this massive European battle.Why Is Tomiyasu Such a Threat to Rodrygo?Rodrygo explained that Tomiyasu’s defensive discipline, versatility, and relentless pressing make him one of the toughest full-backs to face. Unlike other defenders who commit too easily or leave gaps behind, Tomiyasu is known for his intelligence, positioning, and ability to shut down even the most skillful wingers.“He is fast, strong, and smart. He doesn’t give you space to breathe, and he can play on either side. That makes him very unpredictable,” Rodrygo reportedly said.Arsenal Fans React as Tomiyasu Gains RecognitionArsenal fans have been raving about Tomiyasu’s performances this season, with many believing that his underrated ability is finally getting the recognition it deserves. His ability to mark world-class wingers out of the game has been evident, and now even Real Madrid’s key attacker acknowledges his defensive prowess.With Rodrygo openly admitting that Tomiyasu is the one player he is worried about, Mikel Arteta’s men will see this as a major boost ahead of their showdown with Madrid.
