Peter Bosz’s team’s advancement to such a late stage of the Champions League was a surprise to many. In the knockout matches, the Dutch exchanged victories with Juventus (2:1 in home games), and in the return match held in Eindhoven, they managed to advance to the next round thanks to a goal in extra time.
For PSV, this is the second consecutive advance to the Round of 16, and the third in the last nine years. Last season, the club stopped at this stage, losing to Borussia Dortmund (1:1 and 0:2). PSV has not lost in regular time in 7 out of the last 9 Champions League matches (5 wins and 2 draws). PSV lost the weekend league match to Go Ahead Eagles – 2:3. Thus, Ajax is already 8 points ahead of the “Farmers”.
The London club finished the Champions League group stage in third place, securing 6 wins in eight matches (1 draw and 1 loss). It’s worth noting that the “Gunners'” defense was one of the best in the group stage, conceding only three goals. Only Inter managed to demonstrate a better defense, conceding just one goal.
Last season, Mikel Arteta’s team was knocked out of the tournament at the quarter-final stage, losing to Bayern Munich on aggregate (2:2 and 0:1). It should also be noted that Arsenal has won 6 of their last 7 Champions League matches. Last week, the team drew away with Nottingham Forest – 0:0. The “Gunners” are second in the Premier League but are already 13 points behind Liverpool.
