Arsenal salvaged their pride but not their crown as Emirates Cup holders with a 1-0 win over Real Madrid.
The only goal came early in the second half when Michel Salgado felled Robin van Persie in the area and Emmanuel Adebayor stroked home the penalty. However, the scoreline was not a true reflection of Arsenal’s display this afternoon.Theo Walcott, Denilson and Adebayor all had great chances to score and Real spent most of the afternoon on the back-foot.
For the second day running, more than 60,000 fans enjoyed two high-quality, star-studded games. It was good football, good preparation and good fun.
The Emirates Cup is now THE pre-season tournament in Europe. AH!. Forza Depor.
