Strong Waist

The first leg of the Champions League semi-finals is over.

Arsenal defeated RB Leipzig 2:0 in the first leg of the semi-finals

On the other side, Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also engaged in a fierce confrontation for another finals spot.

On one side is the Bundesliga overlord, on the other side is the Ligue 1 overlord.

It can be said that these two teams themselves represent the highest level of their leagues, and the winning-losing relationship between them is directly related to the dignity of the division.

For this reason, this game has some unique meaning in theory.

However, the final result of the game ended with Bayern Munich defeating Paris Saint-Germain 1:0 on the field.

During the 90-minute game, both sides had fierce confrontations, but Paris Saint-Germain was still unable to withstand Bayern Munich's fierce attacking group. In the end, the goal was blasted away and fell behind.

After taking advantage, Bayern Munich firmly controlled the situation and did not give Paris Saint-Germain any chance.

The first leg of the game ended, and Paris Saint-Germain ushered in a defeat at home.

However, they still have a chance in the second round, but the game is much more difficult.

After all, they failed to win the game at home, and it will be more difficult to defeat Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena.

But they have no way out, this is the only way they can go.

For these two teams, under the excessive pressure of the competition, they were unable to divert their energy, let alone pay attention to Arsenal.

On the other hand, Arsenal is under less pressure. For this reason, Leipzig is not a particularly strong opponent. For this reason, they can also take time to study their final opponents.

After discussions between the Arsenal coaching staff and players, they still believe that Bayern Munich is more likely to advance to the final.

Regardless of their performance and status in the first round, or Bayern's past experience in the Champions League, it can be said that their probability of victory is higher.

And this season Bayern Munich has the potential to return to its peak.

The capabilities of each front are very balanced, without any outstanding shortcomings, and the offense and defense are very tacit and coordinated.

In all abilities, they are higher than Paris Saint-Germain.

When facing Bayern Munich, Arsenal is not particularly afraid. After all, their record against Bayern in recent years has been very good.

For this reason, they are still confident of defeating their opponents.

After studying the Champions League, their focus returned to the league.

There are only two games left before the end of the season.

Their opponents are Aston Villa and Watford.

But the most troublesome thing is that the two teams are only one point apart and both are in the relegation zone.

It is foreseeable that in order to avoid relegation, these two teams will use ferocious fighting spirit.

At the same time, there is still the FA Cup final against Manchester City to play, and Arsenal is still under great pressure.

Although there are only five games left, it can be said that each is a tough battle.

Arsenal can't afford to leave anything to chance.

On May 5, Arsenal ushered in the 37th round of the Premier League.

They will face Aston Villa away from home.

Currently, the points gap between Arsenal and Liverpool is only 3 points.

Manchester City is still closely behind with a two-point gap.

Fortunately, in this round of games, Manchester City and Liverpool faced off. No matter which side loses, they will definitely fall out of the championship ranks.

But for Arsenal, they still have to play their own game well. After all, relegation teams in the Premier League are very difficult to play.

Round 37, Aston Villa’s home court.

Amid the roaring cheers, Aston Villa continued to press fiercely.

The first half has reached 40 minutes, but these guys just grabbed 40 minutes, as if they had no physical exertion at all.

It can also be felt from this that Aston Villa is working hard to avoid relegation.

In addition to intense pressing, they also committed more fouls, and even made many dangerous moves under tremendous pressure.

On the one hand, Arsenal must avoid these dangerous moves, and on the other hand, they must win the game.

This undoubtedly increases the difficulty for them.

However, for the next game, they must also ensure their health and win the game.

The ball kept moving and Arsenal's offense slowed down slightly.

After Lucky catches the ball, he will not pass it out immediately like other players. Instead, he will wait for confrontation or attract enough defense before passing the ball out to create a better offensive environment for his teammates.

Many Arsenal players do not perform particularly well under pressure. For this reason, Lucai took the initiative to take on these tasks and create a better offensive environment for his teammates.

Thanks to Lucky's efforts, players such as Giroud, Eriksen, and Mane also attacked vigorously.

They knew very well that the current situation was the result of Lucky bearing tremendous pressure.

Every offensive opportunity is extremely precious, so they must cherish it and score goals as soon as possible.

The good news is that Aston Villa's defensive intensity began to wane as the clock entered the final five minutes.

Even if the fighting spirit is high, even if the ball is chased desperately.

But players are human after all. They will feel fatigue and pain, and the frequency of their bodies and feet will also decrease.

After Arsenal aimed at this opportunity, Eriksen suddenly changed direction and threw away the defense of the opponent's full-back.

However, the opponent's full-back actually made a tackle directly, trying to make a foul steal, but Eriksen seemed to have expected it. He jumped up slightly, avoided the tackle, and went straight in. In the restricted area.

"Danger!! Aston Villa!!"

Seeing Eriksen break into the penalty area, Aston Villa's entire defense became panicked.

Paul Merson on the commentary desk also roared excitedly.

The few Arsenal fans present craned their necks in anticipation.

At this moment, Eriksen pretended to shoot, but with a dunk, he avoided the opponent's central defender's tackle, but the next second, the goalkeeper suddenly appeared in front of him.

Eriksen almost subconsciously flicked the ball horizontally, stepped back and pulled it back. After dodging the goalkeeper's ball, he wanted to wipe it from the side.

But Aston Villa's goalkeeper touched Eriksen's ankle with one hand, and with a loud scream, Eriksen immediately fell to the ground.

"foul!!!"

Beep! ! ! ——

Paul Mawson's shout and the referee's whistle sounded almost simultaneously.

It was an undoubted foul. When Eriksen had already moved away from his position, the goalkeeper still tripped the opponent.

This is an interference attack!

But after all, it was the opponent's home court. The referee gave the goalkeeper a yellow card and signaled a penalty kick, but did not take out the red dot package.

This also comes as a relief to Aston Villa fans.

After all, if it was just a penalty kick, they could still accept it.

In the situation just now, if Eriksen was allowed to pass, it would definitely be a goal and it would be impossible to escape.

Aston Villa's goalkeeper made the right decision at the last moment.

Seeing the referee awarding a penalty kick, Eriksen also got up from the ground. He picked up the football next to him and immediately waited for Lucky's arrival.

Sure enough, Lucky had already ran over and picked up the ball as a matter of course.

As the team's first penalty taker, Lucky carries the hopes of all Arsenal players and fans.

Putting the ball on the penalty spot, Lucai took a deep breath and adjusted his breathing.

Aston Villa's goalkeeper was also in front of the goal, constantly jumping left and right to interfere with Lucky.

However, these movements are almost immune to Lucai. He is not a rookie. He is very used to standing in front of the 12-yard line.

Of course, there is still a slight feeling of tension inside, but it doesn't affect too many things.

After the referee made the final adjustments, he left the penalty area and blew the whistle to indicate the penalty.

Lucky also started the run-up simultaneously.

At this moment, the whole place was silent, and everyone seemed to be able to hear their nervous heartbeats.

Lucky's run-up speed was not fast, but his shot was very smooth, with almost no interference from his thoughts, and he shot a free throw directly towards the lower left corner.

Aston Villa's goalkeeper also rushed towards the left. He guessed the right direction, but Lucky's penalty kick was too tricky, and the ball speed was very fast. Although the goalkeeper guessed the right direction, he failed to convert it. The ball was saved.

In the end, Arsenal took the lead with a penalty kick in the 44th minute near the end of the first half.
