Laporte could have seen red there in my opinion. That arm was all the way around the neck. Instead Touchline Tommy gets sent off

Let's all take a moment to be grateful that Bayern wasn't able to afford Haaland & so had to settle for Mane :laugh:

Nagelsmann would've been there for life if they had Erling this season instead of Sadio.

I think this is a good result for Arsenal, all things considered. City loses their winning streak but keeps having fixture congestion and perhaps something they care about more. Would have liked a defeat just to be a little more deflating, but oh well.

Inter vs Milan in a CL semi-final? Too good. Would have been awesome to see them both in the final but I can't complain about a City vs Madrid semi-final either, although I guess most will consider that being the real final.

"we tried hard to recruit a top 9 and couldn't make it happen. There was a very good 9 on the pitch tonight but he wasn't playing for us".

I waffled between whether it would be better for us for them to have the congestion or to have the mental blow of getting knocked out. Never wish anyone any ill but it seems Ake picked up an injury in this game, which seems a fair tax for the ongoing success. At the end of the day it's been Saliba's injury during the Europa game against Sporting that's really hobbled us going forward. Hope he can be back by the winner-takes-all game next week

Kahn kind of throwing himself under the bus

Who knows what the internal dynamics really are. It's obvious though that neither Kahn nor Salihamidzic have full support from the entire organization.

Now it'd be great if another club like say one playing in black and yellow, would be able to get out of its own way and take advantage of the chaos at Bayern.
