Speaking to Sky Sports, O'Hara acknowledged the Gunners' achievement but questioned the caliber of teams they faced along the way.\n\nArsenal secured their place in the Champions League final for the first time in two decades after defeating Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the second leg of their semi-final. They will now face Paris Saint-Germain in the showpiece event. However, O'Hara believes the path to the final was not as challenging as it could have been.\n\n\"Against whom did they play?\" O'Hara asked rhetorically. He was particularly critical of Atletico Madrid's performance in the decisive match, describing them as \"terrible\" on the night. While he conceded that Arsenal has the ability to make opponents look poor, he maintained that the Spanish side simply wasn't good enough.\n\nThe pundit did give credit to Arsenal for their victories over established European giants. He specifically highlighted their wins against Inter Milan and Bayern Munich as genuine accomplishments. However, he characterized the rest of their victories as \"expected,\" implying they were against lesser opposition.\n\nO'Hara proceeded to list the teams Arsenal faced in the competition, including Athletic Bilbao, Olympiacos, Atletico Madrid (three times), Slavia Prague, Club Brugge, and Kairat. He also pointed out that Bayer Leverkusen and Sporting CP were \"not good enough\" during their encounters with the North London club.\n\nThe core of O'Hara's argument centered on Arsenal winning their group, which he believes set them up for a more manageable knockout stage bracket. He suggested this advantageous positioning was a form of luck that played a significant role in their progression to the final.\n\nDespite the criticism, Arsenal's achievement is historic. The club will now prepare for their first Champions League final since 2006, where they will meet a formidable PSG side. The debate over the strength of their path will likely continue, but their place in the final is secured.\n\nBased on reporting from Чемпионат.com.","news","Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie O'Hara claims Arsenal had luck on their side in the Champions League, arguing their victories were expected given the quality of their opponents.","327678715976749057","326135627642834944","League","0","2026-05-07T03:26:20Z","o-hara-questions-arsenal-s-champions-league-path-cites-favorable-opponents","Championat","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.championat.com\u002Ffootball\u002Fnews-6459154-ekspert-o-hara-zayavil-chto-arsenalu-povezlo-s-sopernikami-a-ih-pobedy-byli-ozhidaemy.html","326257536078450688","Paris Saint Germain",[56,59,60,61,62,63,64,65],"326257534396534784","326257565233057792","326257537831669760","326257546094448640","326257545968619520","326257539769438208","326222707169431552",[57,67,68,69,70,71,72,73],"Bayer Leverkusen","Atletico Madrid","Sporting CP","Tottenham","Arsenal","Inter","Anderlecht","O'Hara Questions Arsenal's Champions League Path, Cites Favorable Opponents",[76,112,144,174],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":77,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":78,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":79,"slug":80,"sourceName":81,"sourceURL":82,"teamId":83,"teamName":84,"teamIds":85,"teamNames":98,"title":111},"Florentino Pérez pledges to sign Liverpool's Ibrahima Konaté if re-elected Real Madrid president, with more defensive arrivals promised to revamp the backline.","337754542600884225","2026-06-03T22:24:58Z","konate-to-real-madrid-what-perez-s-election-promise-means","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FActualites\u002FFlorentino-perez-annonce-qu-ibrahima-konate-jouera-au-real-madrid-la-saison-prochaine-s-il-est-reelu-a-la-presidence-du-club\u002F1681616#at_medium=RSS_feeds","326257565535047680","Real Madrid",[83,86,87,88,89,90,91,92,93,94,65,95,96,97],"326257537865224192","326257556060114944","326257600507154432","326257610309242880","326257618995646464","326257621004718080","326257621155713024","326257534526558208","326257545918287872","326222713142120448","326222767416414208","326257546392244224",[84,99,100,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,73,108,109,110],"Estoril","Estudiantes L.P.","Deportivo Pasto","Club Queretaro","CA Estudiantes","Esteghlal FC","Esteghlal Khuzestan","RB Leipzig","Liverpool","Canada","Lesotho","Nottingham Forest","Konaté to Real Madrid: What Pérez’s Election Promise Means",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":113,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":114,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":51,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":115,"slug":116,"sourceName":117,"sourceURL":118,"teamId":119,"teamName":120,"teamIds":121,"teamNames":132,"title":143},"Patrick Wimmer leaves relegated VfL Wolfsburg for TSG Hoffenheim, swapping the Bundesliga drop for Europa League football after playoff disappointment.","337668028407746561","2026-06-03T16:52:19Z","why-patrick-wimmer-is-at-hoffenheim-relegation-to-europe","Kicker","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.kicker.de\u002Feuropa-league-nach-abstieg-wimmer-landet-in-hoffenheim-1224518\u002Fartikel#omrss","326257534237151232","VfL Wolfsburg",[119,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,129,65,95,130,131],"326257534362980352","326222707618222080","326257613643714560","326257661421031424","326257672598851584","326257761564233728","326257808217477120","326257801355595776","326257545754710016","326257554411753472",[120,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,73,108,141,142],"1899 Hoffenheim","Dender","Hassania Agadir","Denmark","Derry City","Güzide Gebzespor","Derby","Arminia Bielefeld","Newcastle","Newcastle Jets","Why Patrick Wimmer is at Hoffenheim: Relegation to Europe",{"awayTeamId":145,"awayTeamName":146,"body":-1,"category":46,"excerpt":147,"homeTeamId":148,"homeTeamName":149,"id":150,"leagueId":49,"leagueName":50,"matchId":151,"matchName":152,"publishedAt":153,"slug":154,"sourceName":155,"sourceURL":156,"teamId":157,"teamName":158,"teamIds":159,"teamNames":166,"title":173},"326222712592666624","Congo DR","Athletic Club proposed a pay cut to Yuri Berchiche, stalling renewal despite 44 appearances last term.
