The Gunners have all but resolved the outcome of the tie in the first leg, humiliating their rivals 7-1. The Londoners became the first team in Champions League history to score so many goals during an away playoff round. Furthermore, Mikel Arteta’s crew has now won five consecutive matches in the tournament.
If nothing extraordinary occurs in the second leg, Arsenal will comfortably progress to the quarter finals of the renowned European tournament for the second time in a row as they did last season. Prior to the second leg against PSV, The Gunners come off an away draw with Manchester United in the Premier League, one goal to one. Arsenal remains in second position in the league although they are 15 points behind Liverpool.
PSV displayed strong form in the group stage and previously overwhelmed Juventus, but they ran into a true disaster in the round of 16. The 1-7 home loss was the club’s worst in European competition history and nearly shut the door to the quarter finals.
In order to save the situation and force overtime, the Dutch need to perform a football miracle by beating Arsenal by a ridiculous margin of at least six goals. This, however, seems virtually impossible. Over the weekend, PSV Heerenveen was defeated by PSV 2-1 at a home match in the league. They are currently second in the standings, eight points behind Ajax, the leaders.
