Eh? We nullified Arsenal completely, only when injuries came and we were forced to play Maguire and Evans we crumbled, and even then it was by a deflection. Also we will have Amrabat and actual striker etc.
But let's ignore all that and be a usual miserable Caf pessimist.
That's a very odd take to come away from the match with.
I was expecting them to press harder than they did, but they seemed content to let us knock the ball around in our own half while they waited for us to give it away once we tried to push it forward, which we inevitably do more often than not.
They exposed us badly on the Odegaard goal, and let's not forget that Havertz and Saka both had bad misses that they should've converted. We easily could've been 3-1 down much earlier in the match, and Lindelof also got away with a very bad challenge on the touchline, let's not forget that.
Of course we were pretty unlucky on the Garnacho goal and Hojlund absolutely should've got a penalty, so there's that.
1-1 would've been a fair result in the end, but to say that we nullified them completely is looking at this match with the rosiest colored glasses in the world.
