Enter the Bernabeou boiler and silence the way they did. It was really extraordinary. Indeed, over two legs, it was a lubricant.
Arsenal ground floor Madrid down and they looked broken to the end. They just had no answer to the side of Mikel Arte.
I thought the victory in the home leg was spectacular, but the victory was a sign of a team last night that now truly believes that he can beat anyone anywhere.
All the conversation in accumulation to the game He was about Real Madrid overhaul and it was hard for him not to pull it all while you were there. It was a real conviction of the way Madrid players, fans and media outlets aroused things.
They clearly thought they could do it. I’m not sure they really believed that this relatively inexperienced side of Arsenal would be able to bear the pressure coming from playing Madrid in Bernabeu.
The narrative that was produced was aimed at trying and entering the thoughts of Arsenal players to create a sense of doubt. But when they went out to the field, there was no doubt in their thoughts.
There was no inferiority complex, no nerves. Arsenal entered the tie thinking that they were better than Madrid because the game on it became very clear that they were.
It was a huge statement for the rest of Europe.
PSG in the semifinals could be a heavier test for arsenal
The semi -finals will be very difficult. One thing you can say about Madrid is that they are not in the best form, you can’t say that about Paris Saint-Germain.
French champions enjoy the extraordinary 2025 years and have already dropped two Premier League teams who took Liverpool scales and then Aston Villa.
So, Arsenal will know that it will be for a really heavy connection over two legs.
It’s hard to call because PSG played late, but Arsenal pushed them off easily when the two sides met in the league phase earlier in the season.
PSG is obviously a completely different side now. Ousman Dembele was not included that evening in October, and Khvich Quadratskhelia was brought in from that game. The attack is transformed and they are now such a threat to their pace and movement in advance.
But they were physically dominated in this game in the Emirates, especially in the middle of the field, and this will give the Arsenal a lot of confidence as they begin to prepare for what will only be the third semi -finals of the club ever champion.
I will not say that they are favorites, because it is simply too close to call.
But Arsenal knows that I can now beat anyone at home or far away, and that’s a very good place.
