Supporters flooded social media with praise after Sterling’s performance against PSV. Many called for more opportunities, believing his creativity and experience could be vital in the knockout stages.
Sterling will miss the first leg against Real Madrid due to suspension, but his contributions have already made a lasting impression. His resilience and hunger could prove decisive as Arsenal chases European glory.
