In the Champions League no team had ever recovered a 1- 3 home first-leg (aside Ajax in 1968-69, but it was the Champions League); the Monaco in Europe this year had not conceded a goal at home, where he was undefeated for 10 years; Wenger had never beaten his former team. In short, nothing but firm: Arsenal needed almost a miracle to recover the significant deficit suffered at the Emirates. It was almost a miracle: the Gunners came close to qualifying, winning 2-0 and narrowly missing the third, decisive network. Like two years ago, against Bayern, and as three years ago, against Milan, Wenger goes only a breath away from sensational comeback. Heavy in the balance of the two races Ferreira Carrasco’s goal in the first leg, the 94 ‘. E ‘then the Monaco to hit a qualification for the quarter that was missing from 2003-04, when he arrived in the final and then surrendered to the Port of Mourinho.
push arsenal – Before the U2 (Bono in the stands with Larry Mullen and The Edge), the spectacle and rhythm are rock concert . The opening is an acoustic ballad: it seems that Monaco should not suffer too much. Arsenal are shy and awkward, the French ordered and brilliant. In the first minutes we expect a great start English, instead Sanchez is forced to chase Kurzawa until his area, Martial causes difficulties Bellerín (as the first leg), Coquelin comes hard on Moutinho, already dangerous to be outside. But it is only the beginning. The real show begins the quarter-hour, with the first ball-goal for Giroud, who tries to make amends after the many errors of the progress, but only grazes the post with a nice shot of tense. The Gunners are on. Cazorla and Ozil dictate the timing, with some step-load, Sanchez and (especially) Welbeck find space for accelerations that split into two team Jardim. Koscielny devours a goal from close range, hitting the crossbar, but was whistled offside (which there was not). At 36 ‘comes the deserved advantage: Giroud seems to finally win the game with his personal misfortune and shoves Subasic after a couple of rebounds favorable. Two minutes later, Arsenal goes to a step from 2-0: Right Welbeck, sensational carom Abdennour, who, from the ground, sees the ball go off outside edge of the pole. Arsenal are spirited and only the personality of Toulalan and Kondogbia, the brother of Pogba, avoid the collapse of Monaco before the interval.
THAT FINAL – After resting, always Arsenal to insist. Ozil tries on a free kick, with Subasic that flies and takes the ball from the seven. Jardim Martial off and enters Ferreira Carrasco, the hero came. Wenger responds giocandosi the last card: in Ramsey, Coquelin out. A Ozil happen the ball good at 63 ‘: Subasic there would never come, but the left ends off. Adversity? It seems so, especially when Walcott (just entered) hit the post; but the unfortunate Kurzawa to oppose to the gods and to shake his fans, giving the ball to Ramsey 0-2. The finish is a thriller. Skip patterns and the forcing of the English is relentless, but confusing. The other ball of fate reaches 7 ‘from the end: Sanchez hits, disturbed by Giroud, still flies Subasic and save on the line. Destiny is really averse to Wenger. Ends the game and off the dreams of Arsenal. The quarter goes Monaco.
