    “I think it’s difficult to play against City because they’ve had a great success in the last four seasons, they’ve set new standards, new records, four consecutive titles,” Rio told TNT Sports.

    “But I think Arsenal, with Calafiori coming in who plays on the left, if he plays and holds space, I think he’s a great player, having played at Bologna under Thiago Motta, he understands the football that Arteta wants to play.”
