Upson Names Real Madrid, PSG as Tests for Arsenal

Former England defender Matt Upson has named Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain as the two teams that will pose a 'real test' for Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League. This statement comes after Arsenal's 2-0 victory against Bayer Leverkusen, which secured their place in the quarter-finals.

In the same round, Real Madrid defeated Manchester City 2-1, with an aggregate score of 5-1, while Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Chelsea with an aggregate score of 8-2. Upson noted that Arsenal's performance against Bayer Leverkusen was solid, but he believes that facing teams like PSG and Madrid will truly reveal the strength and capabilities of the Gunners.

He remarked on the match against Leverkusen, indicating that while Arsenal played comfortably, the second half saw Leverkusen become stronger, suggesting that Arsenal will need to elevate their game against tougher opponents.
