Some Islington fans were very unhappy with the draw.

The songs in the Emirates Stadium were mixed with angry swear words.

Wilshere, plagued by injuries, was substituted early.

He sat on the bench, covering his face with his jersey, unable to hide his frustration. He seemed to realize that even after his loan ended, he wouldn't be able to compete for a starting position when he returned to Arsenal.

Young Ake was named Man of the Match.

On the other side.

The coaching team was preparing for the Champions League in full swing.

Arsenal's schedule was tough. Three days after the second leg of the Champions League, they had to travel to Stamford Bridge to challenge Chelsea.

...

The Champions League match day arrived.

Old Man Topp walked out of the arrival gate, looking at the gloomy London sky with a heavy heart.

He had no striker to use.

Balotelli had fractured his right foot two days earlier after falling while climbing a wall...

No one knew why he was climbing the wall in his own yard to get out.

The midfield combination that Leverkusen had been honing for half a season had also changed: J-Rod shaved off a wound while shaving his leg hair, which led to an infection and a large lump, making it impossible to even wear socks.

Fans expressed their understanding, because there were many bizarre injury cases in European football history: for example, Busquets's father burned himself while trying to catch an iron with his bare hands... Ferdinand injured his knee ligaments due to incorrect posture while playing games...

"Boss, the ball is round, we have to show our spirit in North London!"

Dino comforted him.

Old Man Topp waved his hand: "Li has already mastered how to crack our tactical system..."

He didn't continue. The Leverkusen coach rubbed his face hard, putting on a defiant look in front of his disciples again.

CTV5 live broadcast room.

Duan Xuan was also warming up before the game:

"Arsenal have not reached the Champions League quarter-finals for seven years."

"In the last Premier League game, the Gunners, who fielded their main players, were held to a draw at home by the Cherries."

"On the other hand, Leverkusen performed better, defeating their rivals Monchengladbach by a large margin in the Bundesliga."

"There is still suspense in the second leg!"

"The game is about to begin, let's wait and see."

The barrage gradually covered the screen.

-【So Arsenal haven't made it to the Champions League quarter-finals for so many years? How can they have so many fans?】

-【Li Mingdeng can't be overturned. As long as the strength of the lineup is not too different, he doesn't need to repeatedly deconstruct the opponent's tactical system. He is the God of smooth games.】

-【The games between Bayern and Tottenham are about to end... 10 to 1 on aggregate, the real King of London!】

-【Don't praise Bayern, they'll still get beaten by Monchengladbach when they return to the Bundesliga, right?】

...

An hour later.

The game officially began.

A drone carrying a huge banner flew over the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal fans were very excited and nervously awaited the moment of promotion.

"There is not much change in Arsenal's starting lineup."

"For Leverkusen, Havertz starts as a center forward!"

"The game is not as intense as the first leg."

"The entire Leverkusen team has retreated and set up an impenetrable bus formation."

...

14 minutes into the game.

Li Kang shook off Jonathan Tah on the right side of the penalty area and sent a very subtle and precise through ball.

The Leverkusen penalty area seemed to have turned into a rectangular cake, cut by a sharp diagonal trajectory!

On the left side of the goal.

Sanchez arrived and gently stretched out his left foot.

The ball then slipped past Leno's armpit and into the net.

1:0!

!

...

28 minutes into the game.

Leverkusen finally had a chance to counterattack.

Havertz didn't seem to like the center forward position very much.

After receiving the ball in the center circle, his counterattack route inexplicably tilted to the right...

This gave Koscielny and Maguire plenty of time to get into position.

In the end.

The ball was cleared out of bounds.

...

The game gradually lost its suspense.

Leverkusen, who were already three goals behind, had their attacking threat greatly reduced after losing Balotelli, their terrifying and powerful center forward.

Arsenal's offensive wave after wave was higher than the last.

It was just that Morata and Welbeck repeatedly missed opportunities, and Giroud also missed a clear-cut goal.

In the end.

Beep! Beep beep~

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

Arsenal 4:0 Leverkusen.

The haze that had surrounded the Gunners for many years was completely swept away.

After seven years, Arsenal once again advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals!
