Manchester United legend, Wayne Rooney, has singled out Myles Lewis-Skelly for praise following Arsenal’s UEFA Champions League win over Real Madrid on Tuesday.
Lewis-Skelly was outstanding as Arsenal defeated Real Madrid 3-0 in the Champions League quarter-final first leg at Emirates Stadium.
Two free-kicks from Declan Rice and a goal from Mikel Merino gave the Gunners a strong first-leg lead over the Los Blancos.
Speaking after the match, Rooney praised Lewis-Skelly, emphasizing that the young English player caused Real Madrid problems.
He noted that Lewis-Skelly played with confidence, showing no fear against the Champions League holders.
“I think he played with no fear, right from the start,” Rooney said on Amazon Prime.
“He was causing Real Madrid problems. He was creating an overload in midfield coming into that position and for a young lad to play at this level – it can be intimidating and nerve-wracking – but he played with full confidence and full belief.
“I’m really pleased for him because it’s been a big season for him, coming into the team, making his debut for England and then producing that performance against Real Madrid tonight. He’s passed a big test.”
Arsenal will face Real Madrid in the return leg next Wednesday at the Santiago Bernabeu.
