CHAMPIONS LEAGUE: ARSENAL 4-0 PSV
On Wednesday, September 20, the second evening of the first day of the Champions League saw Arsenal easily unravel against PSV Eindhoven, for its return in C1. A little earlier, Real Madrid snatched their victory at the very last minute of the match against Union Berlin. We summarize the evening of the Cup with big ears
More than six years after his last Champions League match, Arsenal hit hard for his return to the most prestigious European Cups by smashing PSV Eindhoven (4-0) on Wednesday night.Judging by the statistics (17 shots at 12, 59% possession for the Gunners), the game was all about a pleasant and tight match, but the truth of the pitch is quite different.
Too fast, too strong, too superior, Arsenal has inflicted a real lesson to the men of Peter Bosz, yet authors of a nice start to the season (100% of victories in the championship), but in the street defensively this Wednesday night.
Mistakes that benefit Martin Odegaard to release a first mine repelled by Walter Benítez… on Bukayo Saka who quickly unlocks the score (1-0, 8th).On a counter express, the English international then serves Leandro Trossard who applies to find the small opposing net from outside the surface (2-0, 20th).
The correction is confirmed shortly before the break: a 30-second action initiated by David Raya and concluded superbly by Gabriel Jesus (3-0, 38′) already finishes visitors unable to contain the enthusiasm of London.
The timid reaction of Johan Bakayoko (54′) does not even bring down Gunners on a cloud and who take a final blow by Odegaard with a dry and precise shot at 20 meters from the opposing goals (4-0, 70′).This result allows Arsenal to ideally start this European campaign, especially with the draw between Seville and Lens.
