The pressure to win is on Liverpool – Chukwueze

The pressure will be on Liverpool, according to Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze, when the two teams meet in the first leg of the Champions League semi-final on Tuesday.

Chukwueze scored the game-winning goal as the LaLiga side drew 1-1 at Bayern Munich to advance to the last four.

This will be Villarreal’s first semi-final appearance since the 2005/2006 season, when they faced another English team, Arsenal.

The Nigerian winger believes the Yellow Submarines can pull off a surprise.

“We know everything there is to know about Liverpool, and they are expected to win, so the pressure is on them,” Chukwueze told BBC Sport Africa.

“We have a squad and manager good enough to compete against any team in the world. Because of the way Liverpool play some people have already made their own predictions but that is normal in football.

“We have a job to do and we are not going to Liverpool to lose. Why not aim for the best result over there? And that is what we hope to do.”

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
