The score at the end of the first half was 0-0. If it ends with this score, then PSV will advance. Koeman knows this, but he also knows that Wenger has many offensive players.

, he will definitely not give up.

Perhaps in the locker room, Wenger never imagined that it would be so difficult to score in this game.

At the 77th minute of the second half, the score was still 0-0. This was a knockout round. If this score was maintained until the end, it would be over, and Arsenal's season would be over.

So Wenger became anxious and removed Flamini, the midfield barrier, and replaced him with Babtista.

In this way, Arsenal's entire midfield is entirely offensive.

"This is a gamble." The commentator said: "If the opponent scores a goal on counterattack, then everything is over."

But Wenger didn't think so. He only knew that if his side didn't score, it would be his opponent who would advance.

Koeman also began to mobilize his troops and replaced some who could no longer run. The Dutch's idea was to survive the last minute, then they would be the winner.

Henry and Li Qiao in the stands looked livid. They didn't want to see this situation. They wanted to kill the thief, but they felt very uncomfortable that they were helpless.

I really wish I could stand with my teammates right now, fight side by side at the last moment, and win the game.

On the court, Arsenal's offense was rising in waves, but they were all relatively simple routines, such as powerful long-range shots, and lacked organization and coordination.

This is also due to being in a hurry.

Babtista dodged an angle in front of the penalty area and then volleyed the ball. The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball. However, PSV's goalkeeper was very stable and saved the ball and missed it.

"Steady, steady, it's best to get a set piece." Wenger said urgently.

As they thought, Arsenal got a chance for a corner kick, and the time was at the 87th minute.

Time is running out, and this may be one of the few good opportunities left. In the stands, Li Qiao and Henry can't wait to stand up and watch the game.

Li Qiao was waiting silently, hoping that the goal would be scored, otherwise... there would really be little time left for Arsenal.

And Koeman stood nervously on the sidelines. It would be too painful if he was killed at the last moment.

Corner kicks are often a good opportunity for opponents to kill themselves. This is what Koeman is worried about.

Rosicky ran over and took a corner kick.

The penalty area was full of people. Arsenal pressed very high. Rosicky fired a curve ball. The penalty area was full of people. Everyone was jockeying for position. Arsenal players wanted to head the ball in, but PSV Eindhoven

Of course I hope to defend the ball.

Suddenly, a pair of big hands picked off the ball, and then...

The Arsenal players felt a thump in their hearts, not good!!

This was a good opportunity for PSV to counterattack. Goalkeeper Gomez threw the ball vigorously and quickly threw it forward.

After an overshoot, the ball reached Tardelli's feet. The Brazilian's speed increased at this time. He shook off Clichy who was chasing after him. This is the consequence of Arsenal's full pressure. It is possible to score, but it is more likely.

Still lost the ball.

Tardelli quickly cut in, and now it was a one-on-one contest between him and Lehmann. Tardelli pushed the ball into the far corner, and the ball slowly rolled into the far corner of the goal, and the ball went in!!!

Entered.

Entered.

This was a fatal blow to Arsenal. Wenger knew that his team had lost, because if Arsenal wanted to win, they would have to score at least two more goals in the last minute, which seemed difficult to achieve.

So Koeman celebrated in advance, knowing that his team had advanced.

Helplessness was written on the faces of Henry and Li Qiao in the stands. Arsenal had the upper hand and failed to score in this game. The game was going well, but they were never able to create a real threat. This was also the flaw of this game.

But if they want to make up for it, Arsenal can only wait for next season. In the end, the game is over and Arsenal is eliminated as the defending champion.

Koeman and his PSV are celebrating their victory. Judging from their performance in these two games, Koeman and his PSV are indeed worthy of this victory.

Wenger walked up to Koeman in style after the game and sent his blessings to his opponent.

"Congratulations, you succeeded."

"I defeated Arsenal who were not in their best condition. I hope there will be another chance to play against each other in the future."

After greeting his opponents, Wenger walked over to comfort his players. Young players such as Walcott had already burst into tears.

"Head, I wasn't able to help the team."

"You've done a great job."

Wenger patted Van Persie and said, "Well done."

Then there's Adebayo.

Rosicky.

Especially the Czech, he is Arsenal's most expensive signing this season, and many people expect him to replace Pires.

Rosicky seems to have done it, but he failed to help the team go further. This is also a pity. Arsenal stopped in the Champions League quarter-finals.

Wenger had to accept interviews with the media after the game, and he had to face many difficulties.

"Arthur, it's a pity that as the defending champion, Arsenal was eliminated."

Wenger chuckled, "It seems that the curse of the defending Champions League champion is still difficult to remove."

"What is the team's problem? Is it really just the injuries to Li Qiao and Henry?"

"I think the impact of the main injury on us is self-evident, but this is not the only reason, but a comprehensive reason."

"We have many problems this season. One is the replacement of old and new players. I have said this repeatedly at the beginning of the season, but I have to say that my estimate of this is still too optimistic. I think the speed of the newcomers' growth is

Obviously not as fast as we expected."

"In addition, PSV is a very respectable opponent. They are very strong and their head coach has formulated very practical and effective tactics. I have to admit that in the last game, they caught us off guard, and that was directly

It caused us to be passive in the game. Well, everything is over, and I think we will definitely make a comeback next season."

Wenger left the stadium, a little lonely, but this is football after all, and Wenger actually knew that Li Qiao might not be able to keep him. Arsenal will be even more different next season. Henry and Li Qiao will both leave.

.

Under such circumstances, perhaps winning the Champions League next time is not a goal that can be achieved in the short term.

Many Arsenal fans may be sleepless that night. The first season at the Emirates Stadium did not achieve good results, but fans who love Arsenal will proudly say that the Gunners will be even better next season.
