Arsenal
had his back on the wall, because they lost to Monaco at home 1:3, so they
needed something extraordinary to get to the next round. The first surprise was
that Giroud started the game, because in the first leg, he wasted so many
chances. Monaco’s tactic was to waste as much time as possible and that from
the start; after every touch, they hugged the ground as long as possible. Monaco’s
only chance in the game came on the 8´, when they got a freekick from a very
good spot, BUT they wasted it completely. Giroud’s first contribution to the
game was… yeah you guessed it, he missed. BUT a miracle happened, and he did
score on the 36´. Alexis Sánchez got a yellow card for best male actor for his
dive on the 42´. The second half began actually pretty well for Monaco, they
had control of the ball, but they didn't get a shot, and soon they gave up the
control and on the 79´ Ramsey made it 0:2. But it wasn't enough for Arsenal. Monaco
went on with away goals 3-3, exactly like 2013 when they lost to Bayern the
same way. To be fair Arsenal gave it all, and Monaco didn't get even one shot on target, but they were the luckier team.
