Chapter 334 Chapter 333: Opponent - Barcelona!
At the post-match press conference, Wenger unceremoniously criticized his team: "Our performance in the first half was so bad, it was like falling asleep. We only played a good half!"

"Although the recent intensive schedule is our worst enemy, this should not be the reason for us to make excuses for ourselves. Now some of our players think that we are invincible. This idea is completely wrong."

"The Champions League has entered the knockout round, where will there be weak opponents?"

Porto coach Ferreira praised his team: "We played a perfect first half, but Arsenal are really strong and they showed their strength in the second half."

"However, we can leave the Emirates Stadium with our heads held high and we will come back next season!"

The British media generally believe that Arsenal's draw with Porto at home is not a bad thing, but it reminds them that anything can happen on the field, even if you have a huge lead before, the opponent may come back.

"Fortunately, Arsenal woke up in the second half, otherwise their unbeaten record at home this season will be ended by Porto!"

The Guardian commented: "With Chen and Cesc Fabregas coming on in the second half, Arsenal's attacking trident showed the world their powerful attacking ability, helping the team score two goals in a row and equalize the score."

"The draw was a thrilling one. If Chen and Cesc Fabregas had played later, no one would know if Arsenal could equalize."

The Daily Mail commented: "In any case, Arsenal have advanced to the next round of knockout rounds, and I would like to congratulate them here. But the next opponent will be stronger, and they can no longer take it lightly..."

Marca once again broke the news that Real Madrid intends to buy Chen Fan: "Today, a high-level executive from Real Madrid is preparing to go to London again to negotiate with Arsenal on the possibility of Chen's transfer!"

Of course, Real Madrid's elimination is big news, but compared with Manchester United's four-goal victory over AC Milan at home, it is much inferior.

All of Europe is talking about the game.

The Manchester City media simply praised Manchester United to the sky: "Double kill AC Milan, Manchester United has shown the world how powerful it is!"

"Four to zero! Who else!"

"From now on, Old Trafford has been a nightmare for AC Milan!"

They kept the score until the end of the first half.

After the start of the second half, Arsenal stepped up their offensive, but they were still unable to break through the opponent's goal.Wenger began to dispatch troops and replaced Van Persie.

The Arsenal trident gathered on the field again, and Chen Fan also returned to the familiar position of left winger.

After Robin van Persie played, he attracted the attention of West Ham United's back line. Anyone knows that if you want to underestimate the Dutchman, he will give you a fatal blow!
Chen Fan suddenly felt relaxed. He was no longer alone on the front line, and there were fewer defensive players around him.

With the change of mentality, Chen Fan's performance became better and better. In the second half No. 201 minutes, he made a breakthrough on the left, and then made a cross pass!
Van Persie in the middle leaned against the opponent's defender and knocked back with his back to the opponent's goal.Denilson Oliveira, who was following up, kicked a heavy artillery!
Soccer hits the net!

The score became one to one!

The ball is in!
The score became two to one!
