🚨 Breaking: Thierno Barry reflects on facing Arsenal after 2-0 defeat against the Champions Journalist 🗣️: How difficult was it to find space and create opportunities with Gabriel marking you so closely? Barry 🗣️: “Some games leave you wondering what you could have done differently, and today was one of those days for me. I kept trying to find a way into the game, but Gabriel made sure I never felt comfortable. “He’s aggressive when he needs to be, intelligent with his positioning and incredibly strong in the duels. You think you’ve found a way around him, and suddenly he’s closed the door again. It was difficult to get anything going. “The frustrating part is that you come into a game wanting to make a difference for your team, but he makes even the simplest things feel complicated. I had to work so hard for every opportunity, and he rarely allowed me to get the better of him. “Arsenal have a defender who genuinely makes life miserable for strikers. Today, he showed me why he’s so important to this team. I’ll take lessons from this game, but Gabriel definitely made sure I won’t forget this particular battle anytime soon. #ARSEVE
