Drive up Ode's confidence, yes please

PSV fans jettisoning faster than fans at a Man United game lol.

It’s a carneval in Eindhoven. I bet they were in a hurry.

Simeone thinks atleti is up 2-1 they just reverted into their shell.

 

[S E P H]

Sterling's best skills are 1v1 yet he has zero 1v1 skills left in the tank. Utterly useless.

Hope we saved a few goals for the rest of the season

Calafiori with a CF's finish.

Sweet little finish from Cala, love it

Seriously that's what I am talking about Mr. Gary. This bloke needs to be tried out as a #9 big time.

Looking at stats, Arsenal has scored 7 goals out 1.97 xG.
PSV has 1.38.

 

[S E P H]

How are the numerical stats for this game so opposite of the wide gulf of the scoreline?

I’m not watching, so I’m legitimately asking.

It's more PSV allowing all these goals than Arsenal being brilliant. The channels are just so wide open and Arsenal are doing every single through ball imaginable.

E: I should say, this is what happens when you play naive against Arsenal and give us all the time and space in the world. It should have been worse; Gabriel missed a free lay up header and Nwaneri should have gotten another one.

Simeone, in a nutshell. Those last 20 minutes of the Madrid match felt like a dead rubber game.

Well deserved result for Lille. I wasn't very impressed with them in the first half as it seemed they couldn't connect the simplest passes at times. But a very good turnaround in the second half, that Dortmund didn't have much of an answer for. In the end Lille is probably frustrated to only get a tie out of this.

That Adeyemi goal though

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Not the worst result for atleti. They could’ve done more today but Diego being Diego

Feels a bit low for Arsenal, but PSV had a couple other solid chances in the first half aside from the penalty. Arsenal mostly scored from sloppy defense and good finishing.

It's honestly that low because every pass or chance ended up in the back of the net lol. One of the weirdest games I've seen in a long time.

Lille played pretty well until the incredible goal. Then they just shat themselves.
Came back stronger in the second half.
They're also missing 3 starters, including their best player (Zhegrova).

Arsenal slayed and left no crumbs

Watch us lose pur next La Liga game

Carlo will rest Valverde for the 2nd leg and start that creepy looking midget at RB
