Arsenal lost five games and struggled for five games, and the Champions League and the league are out of the shore at any time

Arsenal, who will play away in Paris to play in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final knockout match in the second leg, lost 1-2 to Bournemouth (Bannymouth) at home with a mid-range Premier League mid-range team attacking in the early morning of Sunday (4th). The loss severely damaged morale. Now, there are undercurrents in the top 5 positions in the Premier League. Arsenal currently only has 7 points more than Nottingham Forest (Notting Xian Forest), which is ranked 6th in the standings, but Nottingham Forest plays one less league game, and Arsenal will face Liverpool and Newcastle United in the next two games, and there may be a situation where both ends are out of the shore at any time!

Arsenal teamed up with Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) in the second round of the Champions League quarterfinals in the mid-week, trying to recover the lost ground of losing 0-1 in the first leg, but in this game, he faced Bournemouth. In order to secure the top 5 positions in the league (Champions League qualification) as soon as possible, head coach Arteta decided to send the strongest lineup to play. In the 34th minute, Ode High School made a beautiful straight pass, and Rice scored the ball after receiving the ball.

After changing sides in the second half, Arsenal's performance on the court was very distorted. In the 67th minute, Bournemouth used the "grenade" tactic, and Wyson headed the ball directly; in the 75th minute of the game, Bournemouth won another goal, and Francesco Ivanielsen received a teammate's header and crossed the ball, and it was suspected that he scored with his elbow in front of the goal. However, after a long review by VAR, he was judged to be effective because there was no obvious angle to confirm that he was a handball foul, which made Arsenal lose 1-2.

Originally thought he was playing a "romantic" game. After only 1 win in the last five Premier League games, the top 5 Premier League positions became dangerous. Arsenal only scored 7 points compared to Chelsea, Nottingham Forest, and Aston Villado, who were ranked 5th to 7th, but Chelsea and Nottingham Forest played one less game. Arsenal will have to play against Liverpool and Newcastle United in the next two league games. With Arsenal's recent downturn, the key 6 points will be lost at any time. The top 5 Premier League positions may not be decided until the final game.

Arteta said disappointedly after the game: "We have poor set-piece defense in this game and will definitely be punished in the Premier League. We originally wanted to use victory to enhance the Champions League, but now we only get angry and dissatisfied. We must make sure to convert such emotions into strength and strive to win in the next game." Regarding the question of retention, Arteta responded: "Paris Saint-Germain PSG has won the Ligue 1 championship. They can do whatever they want. We still have the task of grabbing points in the Premier League, and there is still a chance to fall out of the top 5 in the Premier League in terms of numbers."
