Arsenal set a quarterfinal championship showcase with Atletico Madrid or Real Madrid as 2-2, with PSV Eindhoven at Emites Stadium, sealed 9-3 victory.
Mikel Arthte took advantage of the opportunity to turn after last week’s first leg victory 7-1, appointing a much variable side that included Kieran Tierney on the left wing, and Oleksandr Zinchenko in the middle of the field.
Raheem Sterling was also handed a rare start and set both arsenal goals on an attractive screen, first turning the ball around the corner for Zinchenko, which ended up excellently outside the opening box and then produced a precise cross for Declan Rice to take away its second.
Twice, however, the Topnica were neglected. Former Tottenham player Ivan Perisic, who ended up coldly when he passed in the first half, was canceled by Zinchen’s goal, and Couhaib Driouch again leveled when he raised a fine ending over David Ray in the second period.
Arsenal also had other chances, two of which fell on Sterling, who was refused by Walter Benitez when one-on-one-in-two-separate player refused, and the wing player suffered further frustration when a late yellow card was shown, which means he will be suspended for the quarterfinal first foot.
Arsenal is now waiting to find out the outcome of the last 16 conflict between the second leg between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid to find out the identity of his three -month opponent.
