There’s been plenty of despair in north London over the past few weeks, yet Arsenal are 90 minutes away from reaching back-to-back Champions League semifinals and in an excellent position to do so.
They’ve also got a six-point lead at the top of the Premier League table, but it certainly doesn’t feel that way. The Gunners missed a golden opportunity to all but end the title race by taking a 12-point lead over Manchester City on Saturday. Instead, they produced a wretched performance in a 2–1 defeat to Bournemouth, emboldening City on their way to west London.
