Arsenal played very well in defense at Bernabeu stadium and they did well counter attacks to beat Real Madrid down there. It's impressive performance from Arsenal and shown that they prepared so well before this match and two wins against a very strong opponent like Real Madrid are sweet harvest of many years of squad development under Mikel Arteta head coach.
As I predicted earlier, Arsenal would focus more on strengthening their defense and making quick counterattacks in this game, Arteta managed to do it and Real Madrid planned Remontada was just an illusion. Real Madrid, who were racing against time to score a goal, had difficulty breaking down Arsenal's defense. They dominated the statistics in the first half with 68 percent ball possession and 6 shots compared to Arsenal 4, but the goal they had been waiting for in the first half never came.
Congratulations to Arsenal, they must maintain their best performance when facing PSG.
