Champions League hope still Alive

The Arsenal match was not so attractive as it would rather be.It was much like a game where Chelsea were sitting deep and hoping to hit Arsenal on the counterattack.Only three players from the Barcelona game started as Di Matteo rested players for their crucial Champions League game.

The match started good for Arsenal as they had the most possession and were looking composed whereas Chelsea were defending deep.Arsenal had great chances in the first half.The first one was Van Persie received a great ball only to hit it to the post.



The second one was when Koscielny hit the bar from the freekick and the last one when Persie hit straight at Cech.The second half started on a similar note where Arsenal had a large amount of possession.



Arsenal had chances but Chelsea were too having the ball and looking dangerous on counterattack but most of the time the final ball was not great and Chelsea were not able to fully threaten Arsenal.

Sturridge got a great chance to open the scoring but the control was not good and Koscielny was able to put away the danger.The match ended with both the team shared a point and it was a good point from Chelsea perspective but not so good from Arsenal perspective.



The next match of Chelsea is the 2nd leg of Champions league against Barcelona at the Nou Camp and it would be a huge task for Chelsea and I hope Chelsea will get a positive result there that will help us enter the Champions League final for the second time.
