The match was played at 8 p.m. local time and was broadcast live on CCTV.

After all, this is the first time in history that a Chinese player has appeared on the stage of the quarterfinals of the Champions League. The national team doesn't let us see Sun Xiang, can't we even do the Champions League?

The Football Association was affected by the previous Sun Xiang incident and was very cautious, and if it offended its own work a little, it would not be safe. But having said that, national football fans will have to wait a few days to see Sun Xiang in the national team.

Fortunately, Arsenal's performance in the Champions League was very strong, and after overcoming strong opponents one after another, they once again climbed to a higher level.

In the lineup of this game, Sun Xiang was placed in the forward position by Wenger, Lacazette and Aubameyang did not enter the starting lineup, and Sun Xiang was partnered with Welbeck.

"This is the first time I've seen this tactical set-up on the offensive end. Professor Arsene Wenger seems to have his own insistence on this point. He Wei said.

A bulldozer-like striker, an organized midfielder, two people in the same position at the same time, what kind of sparks will be sparked, can only be expected on the pitch.

With the referee's whistle, the first round of the Champions League quarter-finals began, with Monaco wearing their red and white jersey against Arsenal who had come to their home in a blue shirt.

The race was in a heated phase from the start.

Welbeck set up front with Sun Xiang, who flicked past a defender and slotted straight down the middle, and Mesut Ozil quickly followed up from the right before goalkeeper Subaic saved the ball.

It was Monaco's turn to follow the next wave of attacks, and after losing the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Tiemoue Bakayoko, their strength has not weakened significantly, and they are still firmly in second place in the Ligue 1 table.

At just 21 years old, Tielemans, who joined the club last summer, advanced down the left flank on his own after receiving a pass from Fabinho.

"Mustafi, watch your position!"

Wenger saw that Mustafi was going to come forward to defend and was worried that the space behind him would be taken advantage of, so he hurriedly reminded Mustafi to pay attention. It was only when Mustafi discovered that there was no defender behind him.

"Got it, coach!"

Illemence was overjoyed to find that no one was watching him, and at the same time the frequency of his feet began to increase, like the feeling of a sports car suddenly moving from a crowded road to a wide highway.

"What about Arsenal's defenders? That's not going to work! He Wei sweated with worry, he didn't understand why no one was defending.

Down to the baseline, Tielemans took the ball with his right foot after dunking the ball, and the ball spun and flew into the box.

Mustafi was there at this point, and he leaped high to clear the ball.

Just imagine if Wenger hadn't shouted that sentence just now, if he hadn't been able to prevent him, and let him pass it out this time, the danger behind him would have been.

Today's starting goalkeeper was Ospina, who once again replaced Petr Cech as goalkeeper. Cech, who is getting older, may no longer be the first choice for the young Arsenal side.

The ball was pushed out and Xhaka got the first spot, dodging Fabinho's entanglement before passing to Bellerin on the wing.

Bellerin picked up the pace and Italian full-back Raghi was the man who defended Bellerin, but he couldn't keep up with the Spaniard's pace.

"How can it be so fast!" In his exclamation, he switched positions with the centre-back Genmersson, who took over to defend Bellerin.

This kind of transposition received good results, and Remosong, who was not tall, stepped forward like an opponent, as steady as Mount Tai and motionless, as if the center of gravity could not be reflected in his body.

Bellerin was also depressed, thinking to himself why this big black brother just didn't move, he didn't even have a chance to make a move at the end.

After a few seconds of stalemate and no result, Bellerin had no choice but to pass back, and Sun Xiang pulled it out to respond.

“sun！ Can you pass it back? ”

After the ball, Bellerin slipped past Remerson's defence and slipped into the penalty area, while stealthily waving his hand at Sun Xiang, intending to attract his attention.

He also spotted the space at a glance, and Bellerin's running position was just right, which was the most perfect. When the time came, Sun Xiang also shook his ankle very covertly, and the ball passed between the three defenders.

"No offside!"

"It's a good shot!"

"Bellerin!"

He Wei shouted three sentences in succession, and the voice of each sentence was louder than each sentence, as if the wonderful plot was going deeper step by step.

Bellerin deftly took the lead, the ball came comfortably at his feet, he adjusted a step and directly picked up his foot to shoot, this kind of close-range burst is basically nothing but Taizheng goalkeeper can't do.

Subacric didn't even have time to react, because it was too fast.

"Boom!"

The sound of striking iron reverberated through the Louis II Football Stadium and echoed in the ears of more than 18,000 fans.

What a pleasant sound it is for fans of the home team, Monaco, it is even more pleasant than a symphony.

After the crossbar bounced, the ball hit the ground hard, and Subabasic instantly crushed the ball under him.

He gasped for breath and tried to calm himself, which was terrifying.

Conceding a goal in just three minutes was a disaster. Fortunately, God is attached to his team.

"Oh my God, I didn't get in! He tried too hard to exert his strength, and it hit the underside of the crossbar. ”

'It was supposed to be a must-score.'

'Arsenal missed out on their away goals.

He Wei still said three sentences in a row, but this time the tone was getting lower and lower, and finally fell silent.

"Damn it!"

Bellerin clutched his head in disappointment, it couldn't have been a better opportunity.

Arsene Wenger was scratching his hair on the sidelines, and he was frustrated by the missed chances, but the good news was that his side still had a chance at the start of the game.

They were aiming to get a win and go back, and this time he didn't choose to keep a low-key profile. Because an away win means they can go back home with a relaxed mood and no baggage of "have to win to qualify", which is what he wants.

However, Bellerin's golden chance proved to be the team's swan song throughout the game, after which the Monaco team consciously retrenched and used the impact of Falcao up front to play a counter-attack. As a last resort, Arsene Wenger had no choice but to make the decision to sacrifice midfield to make up for the back.

At the end of the first half, at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal still failed to enter the Monaco penalty area again, and the stadium was like being enchanted, no matter how Sun Xiang and Ozil and others penetrated, they just couldn't overcome this hurdle.

In the end, after missing a golden opportunity, Arsene Wenger's side had no choice but to return to the Emirates Stadium with a draw. The saying "you have to win to advance" has come true.

Of course, it's not all bad news. Arsenal had asked the FA to request a change in the date of the Champions League match before the start of the Champions League game, as the FA Cup semi-final was only 10 hours apart from the 33rd round of the Premier League. In order for the players to be able to get a better rest, they applied for a reschedule.

The day after they returned home, the results of the report came down. Their match against Sunderland was rescheduled to May 20, between rounds 37 and 38.
