The game is like this. In a Champions League, Arsenal played away against Athletic Bilbao. It seemed like a dialogue between a giant, but it turned into a "miracle of substitutes." You said that the Great St. Mames Stadium, with such a "aura", can Arsenal escape unscathed? There are many difficulties, but what is the result? It's really impressive!

The bad news comes first, the Arsenal boys have never had peace before the game. Odegao failed to play due to injury, and Saliba could only sit on the bench to watch the game. This can be said to be a big battle between the "gunners" with broken wings. And Bilbao, that is not a fuel-efficient lamp. The newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. They fought fiercely. The two sides fought each other 0-0 in the first half, which truly reflected the resilience and anxiety of the two teams.

Just when we were worried about Arteta's tactics to break the defense, in the 71st minute, he used the "Princess of God". With a substitution, Martinelli came on the court, and in just 30 seconds, it was like opening a goal, throwing the defense and then scoring a single goal, breaking the deadlock for Arsenal! This is called a turning point, which shocked many people's chins. After all, who would have thought that a substitute would take such a killer move directly?

Look at the 87th minute again, we thought 1-0 was stable, but we didn't expect the situation to be rewritten by the young players again. Martineli's inverted triangle cross made Trosad just short of sending the ball into the net. 2-0, the Gunners once again declared the tenacity of the Premier League team with incredible tacit cooperation. What's the matter! It's not easy to win so beautifully under home pressure! The fans were all in a panic, and Arteta's dispatch was called textbook style. But we cannot be too optimistic, after all, the Champions League is still long and there are still many tough battles to fight. However, with such pressure resistance and adaptability, can other teams not be afraid? I think the show has just begun.

Finally, we know that a game brings not only victory, but also a kind of spiritual power. Victory belongs to the team, and also to those unsung heroes who work hard. I hope that in the future, Arsenal can continue to be full of enthusiasm and play more exciting games, so let us look forward to it together.
