Recently, Raheem Sterling created a new record by becoming the first-ever player to represent four different English clubs in UEFA Champions League by making an appearance during Arsenal Vs Atalanta Round 1 fixture.
Here's Why Raheem Sterling Can Potentially Be A Big Game-Changer Tonight
With the starting XI now named, Raheem Sterling sits on the bench and can prove to be the game-changer tonight. Raheem Sterling arrived at Manchester City one year before Pep Guardiola's arrival, and once the duo started linking-up, he was the Spaniard's go-to-man for several years.
Inspite of produing several memorable and key moments, his few horrific misses, especially in the UEFA Champions League 2019/20 season against Olympique Lyon, made him amongst the most hated players by the fans, and was criticised for his 'malicia' gameplay.
For all the non-FIFA and non-eFootball/PES lovers, malicia in footballing terms refers to the ability of earning fouls easily via fair/unfair methods, and this thing frustates the opposition defenders.
However, the Arsenal number 30 spent enough time under Pep Guardiola and is well-familiar with his game. The English forward has time-to-time proved his worth but has seen troublesome times in recent seasons with him going out-of-favour at his previous clubs.
Raheem Sterling switched from London Blue to London Red, as he is on a one-year loan period at Arsenal from Chelsea, but inspite of all the recent hardships, the playstyle of Arsenal suits him pretty well and can handsomely link-up with the likes of Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka.
