Champions League: AS Monaco vs Arsenal


Tonight Arsenal has it all to do against a Monaco side that seemed to have revealed the problems the Gunners had all seasons prior to this game, but they may need to thank for perhaps sparking a turn around for Arsene Wenger's side.


Since that 1-3 loss at the Emirates, Arsenal has won all their games, beating Man United at homwe in the FA cup and closing in on the 2nd spot, one point behind Arsenal. This turn around may have been surprising for most as I felt this was just another reason for them to crumble and sync further into the footballing abyss. However Arsene Wenger rallied his troops and it seems as though the Gunners will travel to the French Municipality with fire in their belly.

Monaco on the other hand have had decent form since then, winning two out of their last 4 games and only losing out to rivals PSG. Teeming to prove that the win in London wasn't a fluke, AS Monaco will be looking to do all within their power to qualify for the quarter finals, something they haven't done since 2004.

All in all, we have this, an Arsenal side that must be throwing darts at a Dimitar Berbatov picture and a Leornado Jardin squad itching for progression. Arsenal has been here before, against Bayern Munich, Barcelona and AC Milan. Many may disagree but I see Arsenal making history today, however I also see a resolute Monaco side who will not give an inch with that 2 goal advantage, 3 away goals if i may add. All I see is blood and glory written all over this story. I know we all cant wait!!
