Wojciech Szczesny, a former Arsenal goalkeeper, has spoken out about the chest pain he experienced last season.
Last season, the Poland international suffered chest pain during Juventus’ UEFA Europa League quarter-final match against Sporting CP.
During the first half of the game, the Juventus goalkeeper complained of chest pain and heart palpitations.
At halftime, Poland’s No. 1 was replaced.
According to Canal+ Polonia, the goalkeeper thought he was going to die.
“It was scary. I really thought I was going to die,” Szczesny said.
“After passing a ball to the defender, I felt like my heart was about to explode.
“During a corner kick, I told Arek (Arkadiusz Milik), I was hurt, but the Sporting players were already taking a corner kick.”
“The chest pain was horrible. To this day, we don’t know the reason.
“Probably back or spine problems,” he added.
