'It's not the Champions League final' - John Terry accuses Arsenal of 'CELEBRATING too much' after Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea

Chelsea legend, John Terry has hit out at Arsenal for 'celebrating too much' during their celebrations after beating Chelsea in the League Cup semi-final. The Gunners beat their London rivals 1-0 at the Emirates to secure a 4-2 aggregate victory and book their spot in the March 22 Wembley final, where they will face Manchester City in a repeat of the 2018 final. For Arsenal, it is their first final since 2020 when they won the FA Cup by beating the Blues, while it is their first League Cup final since 2018 and a chance to win the competition for the first time since 1993.  The North London side have not won a trophy under Mikel Arteta since the Covid FA Cup triumph, but they have come close in the Premier League three times. However, former Chelsea captain Terry believes the Arsenal celebrations for making the final showed how the pressure was on them at the moment. Speaking on his TikTok page, the five-time Premier League winner said: I just want to talk on Arsenals celebrations after lets not forget, its the Carabao Cup, its not the Champions League final. They celebrated far too much for me, I think that showed the pressure thats on them at the moment. Ive said it before, Arsenal are looking the best team by far in the Premier League so far, and I think theyve got the best squad in the Premier League so far. Theyve got a lot of strength in depth, and I think theyve been the best, but also, it certainly wasnt the Champions League final that theyve qualified to; its the Carabao Cup final. Yes, its the first competition you can win, I think its really important, but that just showed me where the Arsenal team are at at the moment. They can feel the nerves and I know every Arsenal fan out there is feeling what Im feeling, that theres still a chance [they could blow it]. Terry also gave his take on Liam Roseniors tactics, admitting he was disappointed with the passive mentality taken by Chelsea. He added: I think against Arsenal, this year the two games Ive seen, weve outplayed Arsenal. So going into those games, Ive never feared Arsenal anyway, in the league or in any competition. I think its different if were in the Champions League semi-final, I think youre approach then becomes a little bit cautious. But its the Carabao Cup, weve won it many times, and we had nothing to fear, I dont think, going into that. I think the pressure was on Arsenal in the week, and I think we made it very easy for them at home as well, so disappointed with that, I think we left it far too late.The post 'It's not the Champions League final' - John Terry accuses Arsenal of 'CELEBRATING too much' after Carabao Cup semi-final victory over Chelsea appeared first on Linda Ikeji Blog.
