Trossard looking forward to Champions League match against Real Madrid

In the 31st round of the 2024/25 Premier League, Arsenal scored a goal with Trossard, but the opponent scored a penalty in the second half and finally tied with Everton 1-1. Trossard said that the result of this game made the team feel very sorry, but at the same time the striker was also looking forward to playing against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

In the 34th minute, Sterling seized the ball and broke into the penalty area at the top and made a cross. Trossard received the ball and shot into the goal facing the defense, helping Arsenal take the lead 1-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Jack Harrison fell to the ground while dealing with Lewis Skelly's defense. After the intervention of VAR, Everton was awarded a penalty kick. Subsequently, Ndiaye scored a penalty kick to help Everton tie the score at 1-1.

In the end, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Everton at Goodison Park.

Arsenal striker Trossard said, "The result of the game is regrettable. We originally wanted to take away 3 points. Overall, our performance was not bad, but the way we started the second half was not ideal. The penalty and the process that led to the goal were too rash."

"In games like this we have to end the suspense early, especially in such a difficult away environment. When we were already leading 1-0, everything was under our control, and the next task was to hold on to the initiative, but we didn't do enough in this regard."

In addition, the 30-year-old Trossard has contributed 5 goals for Arsenal in the Premier League so far this season and scored two goals in the Champions League.

Trossard said, "I am happy that I scored again. It is always a happy thing to score for the team. We have tried several similar combinations before that attack. The cooperation between Sterling and I was very good. He sent a precise pass, and the rest was for me to send the ball into the goal, so I am very satisfied with this goal."

On the other hand, Arsenal will host La Liga giants Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Trossard said, "I am very excited. This is a very important game for us. I feel that everyone is ready, not just us, but also the fans. I hope the atmosphere at the game can be ignited to the peak, which is exactly what we need."

"We know their strength very well. They are the team with the most Champions League titles in history, so we know how big the challenge is. We are playing at home in the first leg and hope to take advantage of this. If the fans' energy can be fully released, it will give us great motivation."
