One general is incompetent and exhausts thousands of troops! Arteta Xiaofu immediately destroys the gunman. He could have led the team to create history

In the early morning of May 8, the second leg of the 2024/25 Champions League semi-finals continued. French Ligue 1 tycoon Paris Saint-Germain defeated Arsenal 2-1 at home, and doubled his opponent 3-1 in two rounds, advancing to the Champions League final for the second time in team history. Arsenal returned home in disgrace, all four of them were gone this season. In fact, this is really the closest Arsenal has ever won the Champions League title. However, coach Arteta's calm mind was a pity for the team. In the first leg of the two teams, Arsenal lost 0-1 at home, but they were not at a disadvantage in the field, and the result of a small loss of 1 goal also allowed them to still have the hope of a return away game. After all, before that, Liverpool also won at the Princes Park in Paris. However, before the life-and-death battle, Arteta made an incredible decision, that is, to play all the main players in the Premier League. As a result, not only did Arsenal lose 1-2 by Bournemouth, but the main players were exhausted both physically and mentally.

After the game, Arteta explained that the team has not yet secured the runner-up in the Premier League, and he also hopes to use victory to create a positive atmosphere so that players can accumulate more confidence before the battle. This method of injecting blood cannot be said to be useless. In the early morning of this game, Arsenal did make an extraordinary start. Their three tricks to start the game once made Paris Saint-Germain in a hurry.

3 minutes into the game, Rice's header passed the post. One minute later, Martinelli's shot was magically saved by Donnarumma. In the 7th minute, Ode Gaoda shot from the penalty area and forced Donnarumma to make another divine pounce. To be honest, Arsenal's approach to starting the game is still very effective. If Donaluma hadn't helped to ensure the goal, the initiative in the game had changed hands.

But after the disaster, Paris Saint-Germain gradually gained a foothold and launched a counterattack. In the 17th minute, Kvaratskhelia shot from the post and knocked the tiger. Ten minutes later, Fabian Ruiz scored a volley from outside the penalty area, and Paris Saint-Germain led 1-0 at home.

In the 69th minute of the change of sides, Skeley gave a handball, but Vitinia's shot was soft and weak and weak, and Raya successfully resolved it. I thought this was the turning point of the game, but Ashraf scored after volleying three minutes, declaring that the Gunners were doomed. With a total score of 0-3, the Gunners mustered up the courage to fight back and Saka scored 1 goal, but they were unable to make up for the situation and could only accept the result of being eliminated.

In this game, the Gunners had a 54% possession rate, 19 shots and 4 shots were scored, and 3 were wasted 4 excellent scoring opportunities. Paris Saint-Germain, who played at home, scored 3 goals 11 and missed an excellent chance to score twice. Judging from the game process, Arsenal has a chance to win and turn the tables. But the players' poor physical fitness made them unable to maintain threats throughout the game, and in the end they could only be a slash. In other words, if Arteta can make a large rotation in the Premier League last weekend to give the main players a full rest, it is still unknown who will win this series. However, his decision to attack all the main players of the Premier League ultimately left Arsenal's four major players empty.

In fact, with Arsenal's overall strength this season, if he crosses the Paris Saint-Germain level, the finals will have a very high chance of winning against Inter Milan, with aging team, and his chances of winning are far better than in the 2005/06 season facing Barcelona's Dream 2, and Arteta can also lead the team to create history, because everyone knows the importance of the Champions League championship to the Gunners. However, he ruined all this with his own hands. It can only be said that Arsenal has not won a major event for so many years under Arteta's coaching, which is worthy of it.
