All six rounds of the Champions League group stage are over.

Arsenal teamed up with Paris Saint-Germain to reach the knockout stages.

Arsenal achieved a record of 5-1-0 in six games and entered the knockout round undefeated.

Paris Saint-Germain's promotion process was a little bumpy, but it still firmly entered the knockout stage, which can be regarded as completing the first part of the goal.

After the Champions League, Arsenal returns to the league and will face Manchester City again.

Three consecutive weeks of double games have left the players physically exhausted. Although their morale is still very high, injury risks have begun to crop up frequently again.

For this reason, in this game against Manchester City, Mourinho finally decided to rotate.

This is also based on the overall situation. For Manchester City, after the Champions League group stage is over, they only need to focus on the league.

It has not encountered the pressure of multi-line operations, and its internal injury situation is better than Arsenal.

For this, they are fully prepared.

On the other hand, Arsenal is not only preparing for the second half of the season, but also preparing for the Club World Cup starting in mid-December.

It can be said that after the game against Manchester City, Arsenal had almost no time to rest and rushed to Qatar to prepare for the Club World Cup.

The complex schedule and high-intensity games consume the physical fitness of Arsenal players.

In the 17th round of the Premier League match, Arsenal was stunned by Manchester City's two goals in the first half.

"Sterling!

Another arcing pass from De Bruyne tore apart Arsenal's defense. Manchester City gained a huge advantage in this game! "

Andy Gray’s voice is incredibly inspiring.

Manchester City felt unstoppable at this time.

It was the first time they had such a wonderful performance against Arsenal.

In this game, although Arsenal was not the main force, players such as Lucky and Giroud were also present.

But in the face of Manchester City's powerful attack, Arsenal couldn't handle it.

"The pressure of multi-line operations and injuries have caused Arsenal to have problems in many aspects. In particular, this kind of battle loss ratio has put the Gunners in an extremely difficult stage."

"I don't think Arsenal's strength has declined. They are just consumed by a large number of games and are in a short-term downturn."

Richard believes that Arsenal's abilities are still outstanding.

However, Arsenal played almost more games than Manchester City in the entire first half of the season.

In addition, the hidden injury risks of last season have exploded this season, which has led to Arsenal being in such a passive situation.

It's hard for a team to continue that crazy undefeated streak.

In fact, Arsenal's 60-game unbeaten streak is enough for them to be proud of.

Today, the Gunners may have their unbeaten streak broken.

The morale of the Manchester City players is high.

After scoring two goals, the Manchester City players were refreshed and their morale was extremely high.

They saw the hope of victory, and they still had a very strong urge to win.

Of course, they won't take it lightly.

With their knowledge of Arsenal, this team will not give up until the last minute.

For this reason, they must face the next game cautiously.

Throughout the first half, Manchester City still maintained absolute midfield control.

Arsenal also failed to score any goals in the first half.

Entering the halftime period, Arsenal began to make tactical changes under Mourinho's arrangement.

Saka goes off and Chambers comes on.

Eriksen moved to the winger position, while Chambers appeared in the defensive midfielder position with Xhaka.

Lucky's position is slightly forward.

This is to rely on Lucky to change the rhythm, and at the same time, it also wants to suppress Manchester City's wanton midfield through Lucky's strong performance.

After Eriksen pushes forward, the offensive organization ability of the forward can be further guaranteed.

Yes!

Mourinho has greatly enhanced Arsenal's midfield control and offensive capabilities through a series of changes.

Of course, the more core issue is Lucky's performance.

As before, when faced with difficulties, both Mourinho and Arsenal fans chose to believe in Lucky.

When Lucky stands in the offensive position, Arsenal's overall playing mode becomes different.

At the beginning of the second half, they launched a fierce high-position press under Lucky's command, gradually compressing Manchester City's passing space.

Lucky further squeezed Manchester City's passing selectivity through hard running.

Under pressure again and again, Manchester City was finally overwhelmed and made a mistake in another cross pass.

This was a passing error during a confrontation. Foden encountered a confrontation from Mane when passing the ball, resulting in a failed pass.

This loophole was immediately seized upon by Lucky, and Arsenal immediately launched a counterattack.

After a fierce counterattack, he pushed forward and passed the ball to the penalty area line with just two kicks.

Lucky is at the top of the arc, ready to move forward at any time.

But when he saw the people inside the penalty area, he stopped and pulled back.

And this also opened up a space for him to shoot.

Eriksen had quick eyes and quick feet, and he made an emergency stop and passed the ball sideways.

Lucky ran towards the ball and ran in a slightly arcing position.

When he comes to the ball, he can already shoot directly.

After observing the goalkeeper's position, Lucai directly used the outside instep of his left foot to make an arc and fly to the near corner.

Morais's body shook, and his feet shook even more, but in the end he couldn't move even half a step.

Judging from his judgment, even the save was too late.

In the end, the ball also took advantage of the situation and got into the near blind spot.

Arsenal got a goal back in the 65th minute.

“Gooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa”

!

"

"A strong offensive performance, this is what Kai is capable of!"

"A shot from the outside of the instep created an absolute blind spot. Arsenal finally got a goal back. The suspense of the game is still there. Arsenal is only one goal behind!"

After this goal, Manchester City became nervous.

It won't be easy for them to beat Arsenal.

Unexpectedly, this goal came so suddenly.

The most important thing is Lucky.

"I'll keep an eye on him!"

Foden volunteered.

Even Foden can see that if Lucky continues to play like this, Arsenal's counterattack will be too threatening.

The best way is to limit Lucky.

For this reason, Foden went directly to Lucky. As long as Lucky entered the first half, he would not leave Lucky's side.

Foden worked very hard, and despite Lucky's physical confrontation, he still refused to give up.

This also caused Lucky's several shots to become less stable.

Arsenal also began to pass the ball to Eriksen more often.

Although it is impossible to create a threatening offense by pulling like Lucky, this is the best option at the moment.

It can only be said that Arsenal missed a good opportunity after conceding two goals in a row.

Time passed little by little.

In the 70th minute, Manchester City took the lead in making substitutions.

Gundogan and Sterling went off, Bernardo Silva and Mahrez came on, and De Bruyne retreated to organize.

This further strengthens the control of the midfield and also provides a certain degree of defensive radiation to the back line.

Arsenal also made an offensive choice.

Giroud goes off and Lukaku comes on.

This is about playing a simple cross and letting Lukaku act as a battering ram.

But the idea was good and the effect was achieved, but he just couldn't score a goal.

Manchester City's defensive resilience is full of resilience, and although it is sometimes hectic, it always allows Arsenal to return without success.

Until the 84th minute, Manchester City encountered a foul from Arsenal during a counterattack.

De Bruyne seized this opportunity and scored directly from the set kick to push the score to 3:1.

De Bruyne was extremely excited after scoring the goal.

He changed from his normal state and started running wildly on the track, his whole face flushed with excitement.

Obviously, Arsenal and Lucky were like two mountains weighing him down during this period.

For this reason, when he scored this goal, he led Manchester City to complete this sniper battle against Arsenal.

Although this victory came a little late, for De Bruyne, it was all worth it.

And under this goal, the Arsenal players also showed a look of helplessness.

At this time, they also understood that the situation was over.

It's not like they haven't done it before to pull back two goals in a short period of time.

But the state at this time was indeed a little weak. Even Lucai was squatting on the ground and panting, obviously exhausted.

Finally, the 90-minute game ended.

Manchester City defeated Arsenal 3:1 at home.

They finally defeated Arsenal and also ended Arsenal's hopes of a 62nd unbeaten game.

After 443 days, Arsenal finally lost.
