SPAIN MADE 812 PASSES, WITH A 92% PASS ACCURACY, (HAD 62% POSSESSION), AND 16 SHOTS WITH 6 ON TARGET, INCLUDING STUNNERS FROM MARTIN ZUBIMENDI AT 21 MINS. AND MIKEL OYARZABAL AT 45 MINS. PORTUGAL MADE 509 PASSES, WITH AN 86% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 7 SHOTS WITH 2 ON TARGET, BOTH OF WHICH THEY MADE COUNT! FIRSTLY AFTER RECEIVING PEDRO NETO’S PASS, NUNO MENDES NETTED IN SPECTACULAR FASHION FOR HIS 1ST INTERNATIONAL GOAL AT 26 MINS! (THIS MEANT THAT 2 EXCITING GOALS HAD ALREADY BEEN SCORED IN THE FIRST HALF AN HOUR!) AND WITH THE OYARZABAL GOAL AT 45 MINS. SPAIN WERE 2 – 1 UP AT HALF-TIME! BUT WHATEVER ROBERTO MARTINEZ GAVE HIS SQUAD AT HALF-TIME (ORANGE SLICES, PICKLE JUICE, OR THE HAIRDRYER TREATMENT?) CERTAINLY WORKED BECAUSE THEY CAME FLYING OUT OF THE TUNNEL AND ONTO THE PITCH...

WHAT A DYNAMIC MATCH THIS WAS LAST NIGHT! ARSENAL MADE 365 PASSES WITH A 79% PASS ACCURACY (AND HAD 55% POSSESSION), WITH 19 SHOTS AND 4 ON TARGET, INCLUDING NOTEABLE CRACKERS FROM DECLAN RICE, (WHICH JUST WENT WIDE OF THE POST), AND ALSO MARTINELLI, ODEGAARD, AND SAKA’S GREAT ATTEMPTS ON GOAL – BUT UNFORTUNATELY, NOT MUCH WAS GETTING PAST PSG’S 6ft 5″ DONNARUMMA UNTIL BUKAYO SAKA’S 76TH MINUTE BEAUT! PSG MADE 320 PASSES, WITH A 76% PASS ACCURACY, AND HAD 11 SHOTS, WITH 6 ON TARGET, BUT WITH DAVID RAYA READY-AND-A-WAITING, SAVING 4 OF THOSE, (INCLUDING A PENALTY FROM VITINHA), THE PSG ‘MOMENTUM’ WAS HELD-AT-BAY! 2 STRONG PSG STRIKES DID HIT THE BACK-OF-THE-NET THOUGH, WITH 1 FROM FABIAN RUIZ AT 27 MINS., AND ANOTHER FROM ACHRAF HAKIMI AT 72 MINS!

WELL, WELL, WELL! AFTER DAYS OF EXCITING BUILD-UP, A SPECTACULAR LIGHT-SHOW, AND THE ARSENAL PLAYERS’ STERN FACES OF INTENT WHILST EMERGING FROM THE TUNNEL – (NOT TO MENTION MIKEL ARTETA STRIDING AROUND WITH AN EQUALLY-RESOLUTE LOOK ON HIS FACE, DRESSED ALL IN BLACK, AS ALWAYS, LIKE A MAN ON A MISSION) – ALL THE EXCITEMENT FOR ARSENAL FANS CAME TO A CRASHING HALT WHEN DEMBELE SCORED A SUPERB GOAL INSIDE OF FOUR MINUTES LAST NIGHT.

PSG MADE 437 PASSES, WITH AN 85% PASS ACCURACY AND HAD 53% POSSESION, SO THE STATS WEREN’T TOO DIFFERENT REALLY WITH ARSENAL MAKING 389 PASSES, WITH AN 89% ACC...
