During the upcoming UEFA Champions League quarter-final matches in London, the local team, no matter how strange it may sound, could be strengthened by forward Dennis Bergkamp, who has been representing the club for 11 years. Due to his fear of flying, the 36-year-old veteran, who rarely travels with the team, is ready to travel more than 3200 kilometers to reach Spain by ground transportation.
"I am ready to travel, but everything will depend on the coach," said D. Bergkamp. "I always enjoy playing any match, but how can I talk about European cups when I don't always play in home matches."
The experienced Dutchman missed the Tuesday Premier League match due to a groin strain. However, this injury is not serious and Bergkamp is ready to play in the Tuesday match.
The forward also believes that the struggling Arsenal team can surprise and eliminate Real from the Champions League - "It is very important for us to score an away goal. If we manage to do that, we will have a great chance at our stadium."
This season, Bergkamp has played 23 matches for the Gunners, starting 11 of them on the bench, and scored two goals - one in the Champions League and the other in the Premier League.
