Manchester City was not affected by the penalty kick. They believed that Manchester City was very strong and would definitely defeat Arsenal.

However, Arsenal will not give up easily.
They have been brewing opportunities to counterattack.

He was a little careless with the ball.

On the 69th minute,

The cheers of Arsenal fans continued to ring out.

They are the team's strongest backing.

Before the game started, many people actually thought that Manchester City would easily defeat Arsenal.

Although he didn't directly tackle the ball,
But it poses a potential threat to Arsenal players.

However, Saliba's header lightly touched the ball.
It didn’t change the direction of football.

The football continued to slide towards the goal.
Fortunately, Arsenal's Ben White appeared in the path of the football.

He blocked it with his foot just in time.
He blocked the football steadily out of the baseline.

At this moment, the entire stadium was boiling.

Arsenal fans celebrated wildly as if they had seen a goal.

This clearance was indeed no less than a goal.

The Manchester City players stared at this scene in amazement.
They couldn't believe that this crucial scoring opportunity was missed.

De Bruyne also had a heavy expression, he felt that he might never have such a scoring opportunity again.

The game didn't end there.

Two minutes later,

Arsenal took advantage of the momentum and immediately launched a counterattack.

Sakaman received the ball on the sidelines.

He stopped and passed directly, cut into the penalty area, and then suddenly raised his foot.

A very violent shot was fired.

The football flew quickly towards the goal.
The Manchester City goalkeeper did not react.

But unfortunately, the height of the football was a little too high. It flew over the crossbar and did not enter the goal.

In the first minute of injury time,

The atmosphere in the entire stadium became very frozen.

Already imagining what the outcome will be.

The football flew over,

Arsenal's defenders were prepared.

After a tight defense, Saliba finally cleared the ball.
The football did not fly far, but was stopped by Manchester City's Rodri.

He didn't rush to pass or shoot.
Instead, he chose to dribble horizontally.
Trying to dribble past Arsenal's defenders and look for a better shooting opportunity.

Sure enough, his fake moves were so swift that they were dazzling.

After seeing the gap between Arsenal's defenders, he suddenly took a long shot.
The football flew towards the blind corner of the goal.

The Arsenal goalkeeper made a save, but who would have thought that the angle of the ball was so tricky.

Fortunately, the home goalpost saved the entire Arsenal team.

At this moment, the whole stadium cheered.

Once again, the goalpost saved them.

It turns out to be the home field advantage!

Amid this huge reaction, people seemed to be able to hear the Manchester City players sighing through TV.

Soon the game was over, Arsenal and Manchester City shook hands and made peace.
The Premier League champion has not yet been decided.

Soon the news of Arsenal's draw with Manchester City became a hot topic on major online searches, and many people immediately rushed to the news to discuss it heatedly.

"Ah, Arsenal was so lucky in this game that they actually tied with Manchester City. This kind of luck doesn't happen in every game. I don't believe they can be so lucky every time."

"That is to say, Arsenal's luck in this game was simply overwhelming, but this kind of good luck will eventually run out. By the time the Champions League final comes, if their luck has run out in advance, they will definitely be beaten badly by Liverpool. Just wait and see, this team that relies on luck will be exposed sooner or later."

"I really think Arsenal's performance today was totally unworthy of this draw. Manchester City obviously played better and more methodically. Arsenal just managed to keep the draw by relying on a few accidental chances. How can this kind of performance continue?"

"Manchester City's draw actually has no impact on them at all. They are still the leaders of the Premier League, and a draw will not change their leading position. And I think Manchester City's performance today is still very solid, but they lack Haaland as a scoring point, so their offense is a little weak."

"Manchester City just lacks Haaland, a scoring weapon. If Haaland is on the field, Manchester City will definitely win this game. But it doesn't matter. A draw is nothing for Manchester City. They are still a strong contender for the Premier League title."

"To be honest, Arsenal's luck-based style of play will be exposed sooner or later. They can't win every game by luck, and one day they will be beaten back to their original form by a truly strong team. I think this draw is a wake-up call for Arsenal, and they should reflect on their own style of play."

"Oh, it's incredible that Arsenal won this game. I think they were just lucky. This kind of luck won't always be with them. When their luck runs out, we'll see if they can still perform like this."

"In fact, Arsenal's victory in this game also has certain strength factors in it. We can't completely deny their efforts. However, if they can keep up this performance, I don't believe it. After all, luck comes and goes quickly."

"I think Manchester City's loss in this game is only temporary. They are still the overlord of the Premier League. This draw is just a small setback for them and will not affect their plan to win the championship. And I think Manchester City just lacks the scoring point of Haaland. If they can get Haaland back to his form as soon as possible, the Premier League championship will still be theirs."

"To be honest, Arsenal's victory in this game was a bit lucky. They can't rely on luck to win every game, right? I think they should reflect on their playing style and can't always rely on luck to win!"

"Manchester City's loss in this game doesn't mean they are no longer good. I think they are still one of the strong teams in the Premier League! This draw is just a small episode! The Premier League championship is still theirs."

In this regard, Arsenal players did not feel that they were lucky to draw with Manchester City.

If Manchester City is very strong, they should be able to defeat Arsenal easily.

But the fact is that Manchester City was also sweating profusely during the game.

Although they didn't win, everyone still felt that there was nothing wrong with their performance today.

Later, when preparing for the Champions League final, head coach Arteta said that they must also show such tenacious performance in the final.

Liverpool is also very strong, they cannot underestimate the opponent. If there is no chance, they will defeat Liverpool in the final penalty shootout.

The entire Arsenal team quickly reached a consensus on the head coach's arrangement.

Just as the outside world was speculating on what tactics Arsenal would adopt in the Champions League final, time passed quickly and on May 5, the Champions League final arrived as scheduled.

As soon as the whistle sounded, the battle was about to begin.

The fans' cheers continued to ring out.
It's like a competition to see who has the loudest voice.

The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.

Every player on the field pounced on the opponent like a lion.

Just two minutes later,

After receiving the pass from his teammate, Salah dribbled the ball quickly in the frontcourt like a hound and kept the ball firmly under his feet.

When he saw his teammates in front of him, he immediately passed the ball to them, and then he and his teammates formed a wall-to-wall cooperation.

Salah continued to dribble the ball, heading straight for the heart of the Arsenal defense.

Liverpool finally made it to the Champions League final, and he most wanted to be the player who helped the team make history.

With that desire for victory.

Salah faces the goalkeeper.

He calmly moved the ball and then shot it with one foot.

The football went towards the far corner of the goal.

However, the Arsenal goalkeeper stretched out his hand and quickly saved the ball like a goalkeeper.
This made Salah's heart ache.

On the 7th minute,

Arsenal also put in a strong performance, quickly avoiding Liverpool's attempts to steal the ball with a single pass.

Liverpool only stopped Arsenal's build-up play with fouls.

Arsenal gets a set piece opportunity.

Fang Cheng stood in front of the set piece and adjusted his mentality.

Quickly kick the ball into the penalty area.

Let the ball find Saka who is right behind him,
He chose the right moment and shot the ball into the air.

However, although his shot was beautiful, it was blocked by the Liverpool goalkeeper.

Arsenal teammates pulled Saka up from the ground. Although the attack failed to score a goal, their fighting spirit remained high.

At this moment, the entire stadium seemed to be quiet.
The eyes of the players from both teams were focused on the flying football.

Mane got a good position in the penalty area.

He jumped up first.

Head the football towards the goal.

This header was very powerful, making it difficult for the goalkeeper to defend.

The football was heading towards the blind corner of the goal, and its trajectory was almost enough to break through the goal.

The Arsenal goalkeeper could only jump up as hard as he could.

He made a save with one hand.

However, Mane was a little unlucky.

The football flew out of the field.

The deadlock in the game has not been broken yet.

When the ball returned to the field, the game quickly entered a tense stage.

In the 20th minute, Arsenal got an offensive opportunity with a long pass.

Fang Cheng made a wonderful interweaving combination with Saka on the left side of the penalty area.

He quickly got rid of the Liverpool defenders.

Kick the ball back to Martinelli who followed up.

Martinelli shot without even stopping the ball.

His shot was so powerful that it seemed to penetrate the opponent's defense in one fell swoop. (End of this chapter)
