The Arsenal gave a hysterical performance by beating the PSV Eindhoven for 7-1 at the Philips Stadion, effectively ensuring their pass to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
The Party’s technical and practical angiosis:
Coach Mikel Arteta planned an offensive scheme that dismantled the PSV defense from the beginning. The high president and the fast circulation of the ball allowed the Arsenal to dominate the meeting. The PSV, led by Peter Bosz, did not manage to contain the embryos of the English set and showed defensive weaknesses that were capitalized by the ‘Gunners’.
PSV Eindhoven (4-2-3-1):
- Porter: Walter Benítez
- Defenses: Jordan Teze, Ryan Flamingo, Olivier Boscagli, Mauro JÃonior
- Campers: Joey Veerman, Jerdy Schouten
- Attackers: Johan Bakayoko, Ismael Saibari, Noa Lang
- Delantero: Luuk de Jong
- Coach: Peter Bosz
- Substitutes used: Armando Obispo (by Flamingo, min. 46), Guus Til (by Saibari, min. 62).
Arsenal FC (4-3-3):
- Porter: David Raya
- Defenses: Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Gabriel Magalhães, Myles Lewis-Skelly
- Campers: Declan Rice, Thomas Partey, Mikel Merino
- Delanteros: Leandro Trossard, Ethan Nwaneri, Martin Ã)degaard (C)
- Coach: Mikel Arteta
- Substitutes used: Riccardo Calafiori (by Lewis-Skelly, min. 46), Oleksandr Zinchenko (by Merino, min. 75), Kylian Mbappé (by Trossard, min. 80).
Technical and practical angiosis
- Arsenal:
- Technician: The team achieved 68% possession, 25 shots (11 to door) and a 3.2 xG, exceeding expectations. The prize in passes (88%) and the bargain (Nwaneri, .degaard) were outstanding.
- Practice: Arteta planted a 4-3-3 dynamic, with Rice and Partey as a double pivot to control the game and Merino as an offensive link. The quick transitions and the high chair disarmed the PSV, while the ends (Trossard, Nwaneri) opened the field. The entrance of Calafiori revived the left band, and the team shined in goals from open plays (6 of 7).
- PSV Eindhoven:
- Technician: Only 5 shots (2 to door) and 0.7 xG reflect their impotence. Lang and Bakayoko tried to overflow, but the lack of appreciation (70% in passes) condemned them.
- Practice: Bosz bet for an offensive 4-2-3-1, but after 2-0, the defense collapsed. The upper line was vulnerable to long passes (Tyber’s sledge), and the midfield lost key duels to the intensity of the Arsenal. In the second half, the team crumbled.
Targets and Assistance:
- Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) – Minute 18: Gol after a Declan Rice pass.
- Ethan Nwaneri – Minute 21: Annotation after an individual play by Myles Lewis-Skelly.
- Mikel Merino (Arsenal) – Minute 31: Gol assisted by Leandro Trossard.
- Noa Lang (PSV) – Minute 43: Penalti converted after a lack of Thomas Partey on Luuk de Jong.
- Martin )degaard (Arsenal) – Minute 47: Gol taking advantage of a bounce in the area.
- Leandro Trosard (Arsenal) – Minute 70: Gol after assistance from Riccardo Calafiori.
- Martin )degaard (Arsenal) – Minute 73: Second personal goal, assisted by Mikel Merino.
- Riccardo Calafiori (Arsenal) – Minute 84: Gol after a Martin Ã.degaard pass.
Best Party Player (MVP):
Martin .degaard was the outstanding figure of the meeting, contributing with two goals and an attendance. His vision of game and leadership in the midfield were fundamental to the Arsenal domain.
Political courts
Verdict: Correct, although discussed by its severity.
Minute 31 – Failure to 3-0 Merino?
Description: Flamingo fell after a struggle with Merino, but Turpin was not missing, allowing the goal.
Angiosis: In X (@PSVFansNL), PSV fans claman â clearly fake Merinoâ sâ sâ s; however, The Athletic signals that â tease there is enough contact to annul itâ s salt. The VAR reviewed and validated, but the doubt persists about whether Flamingo exaggerated.
Verdict: Adjusted diagnosis; the PSV has arguments, but the VAR criterion backed the host.
Minute 41 – Penalty for PSV
Description: Party hooked De Jong in the area after a cÃ3rner; Turpin pitÃ3 penalti, confirmed by the VAR.
Angiosis: Arseblog considers that â ̄s supposed to be awkward, but the contact is even more flare. In X (@AFC_Simon), fans of the Arsenal call it a soft yarn. However, the action is punishable according to the rules.

International media, like ‘The Times’, highlighted the dominant performance of the Arsenal and the shine of .degaard in the party.
For his part, ‘El PaÃs’ underlined the contundence of the team of Arteta and its almost safe passage to the quarters of the final, where he could face Real Madrid or the Atlético de Madrid.
The Arsenal crushed 7-1 to the PSV with a technical and technical performance sublime, led by Martin Ã.degaard as MVP and best player. The goals of Timber, Nwaneri, Merino, .degaard (x2), Trossard and Calafiori reflected a diverse and lethal attack, while the political ones (falta in 3-0 and penalti) did not tarnish the domain. In world networks and press, the focus is on the historical record and the Arsenal resurrection, leaving the PSV at the edge of the elimination. Turning on March 12 looks like a triage.
