Well deserved winner for Arsenal by Martinelli. Only negative tonight is Partey being booked and missing the semi final. Masterclass by Arteta who gets plenty of stick on CL for being passionate.
Declan Rice totally overshadowed Jude Bellingham over both legs.
I always said when Rice first got into the England team that he was more than a defensive midfielder and now he is everywhere as a 6 and 8 and a sublime box to box midfielder. He was good at West ham and now at Arsenal he is going to another level aided by the quality around him.
The thing with rice is that he knows he has saliba/Gabriel behind him so he can play his natural game, as a general midfielder and probably apart from Rodri the best in the world. When he plays for England, he’s got Guehi, a 50% stones or Lewis Dunk. His intelligence is is to protect. Until England sort their centre back problem out it will fuck us up.

PSG won't be easy, but Arsenal will fancy they can make the final now.
Who do we think the next Madrid manager will be?
I'll go with Xabi Alonso.

At the start of the season I'm not sure you would have fancied any of the 4 sides to win it.
