‘I bet Laura Woods is p***ed off’, say fans as TNT Sports reveal line up for Bayern vs Arsenal & Man City vs Real Madrid
FANS reckon they can feel Laura Woods’ pain on a huge Champions League night.
TNT Sports sent their Arsenal-supporting presenter to Manchester City’s home quarter-final vs Real Madrid, which is level at 3-3 from the first leg.
Meanwhile, her beloved Gunners are at Bayern Munich, locked at 2-2 for another well-balanced return clash.
Of course, if Woodsy was disappointed not to be at the Emirates you couldn’t tell from her professionalism.
But one fan posted: “I bet Laura Woods is p***ed off.”
Another wrote: “Laura Woods must feel sick right now, they’ve got her at the City game instead.”
And a third added: “Poor Laura Woods, has to do the City game when Arsenal are at Bayern.”
The popular broadcaster would at least have been delighted to see both Bukayo Saka and Martin Odegaard were in the Arsenal side when TNT Sports displayed the line-ups from the two glamour ties.
The Gunners’ two most creative talents were rated fitness doubts by boss Mikel Arteta just 24 hours beforehand.
Nonetheless, Woods had to focus on the Etihad, where Erling Haaland, Jack Grealish and Kevin de Bruyne were in the hosts’ starting team against Jude Bellingham and Co.
And armchair observers who freely chose the Etihad were as quick as ever with their compliments for the 36-year-old former Sky Sports star.
One said: “Laura Woods is such a gorgeous woman, embodiment of brilliance, elegance and beauty. Look at her teeth, blinding white.”
Another claimed she was “absolute fire”.
Alongside Woods at the Etihad were Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand and former City defender Joleon Lescott.
