In this episode I'm joined by Kaya Kaynak to chat about the 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday evening. It may not have been a high scoring 'thriller' but it was still a compelling game, with interesting tactical aspects to consider from both managers. We discuss the ebb and flow the game itself, the two penalties that were awarded and scored, and the one that was given to Arsenal but then taken away by a VAR review which left Mikel Arteta 'fuming', in his own words. We also chat about how the substitutes the Arsenal boss made an impact, how the game is poised for the second leg, and lots more – including an update on the fundraiser and details of the Arseblog donations for the month of April.
