Arsenal and St. Petersburg Zenit met in the Champions League for the first time. Last season and 2oo4-o5 seasons, Arsenal were eliminated, and both ended in the 1/8 finals in the past three years. The Gunners have lost three consecutive games against the Russian League team at home (Schalke and Bayern last season; Dortmund this season), and have lost only three home games in the last 18 Champions League knockout matches. Interestingly, Arsenal has faced the Russian League team in the past six times, and 5 times won the away team.

Arteta was suspended in this game, Wilshire, Caszorla, Sania, Gibbs and Szesni, who were resting in the FA Cup, returned. Sanogo, who was the first to be the Arrow last weekend, continued to serve as the Arrow, and Giroud served as the substitute.

After 21-year-old Sanogo also became the second youngest French player in the Champions League knockout round after Clich (18 years old), he only played 127 minutes of official games this season.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal launched a fierce attack under the leadership of Zhang Xu. However, Zenit, St. Petersburg, had no intention of admitting defeat and quickly fought with Arsenal.

He personally took the left foot half-high ball in the middle and was blocked by Neuer with one hand! Ozil missed three consecutive penalty shots in the club in 29 years (2 times in Arsenal and 1 time in Bremen), and all four penalty shots in the national team during the same period. Including the group stage missing penalty shots, Ozil became the German player who lost two points in the Champions League history.

This is also the fastest penalty miss in the Champions League after Ronaldo (March 23 Vs Barcelona in the 3rd minute) on April 23, 2oo8.

The 14-year-old Champions League is second only to Juventus (2o), Inter Milan (17), Galatasaray (15), and the two goalkeepers (Szesney, Lehmann) have a red color in the Champions League to tie Eindhoven. This is also the first red card for 5O players in the official game since Wenger coached Arsenal.

Wenger had to use Fabiengis to replace Cazorla, and the opponent took the penalty kick and pushed the left foot to hit the outside of the left post and bounced out!
