Arsenal’s performance shattered expectations, turning what was anticipated to be a closely contested match into an all-out demolition. In an unprecedented display, Arsenal became the first team to net seven goals in a Champions League knockout match away from home. With such a resounding victory, they are already setting their sights on the upcoming quarter-final showdown against either Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid.
PSV’s defensive efforts were in complete disarray, especially evident in the latter half of the game. Arsenal seized every opportunity to capitalize on PSV’s vulnerabilities with unforgiving precision. Declan Rice’s presence was felt all over the field, Ethan Nwaneri delivered a stellar performance, and Martin Odegaard orchestrated the game effortlessly, dismantling the competition at his whim. Up next for Arsenal: a clash with Manchester United on their turf.
