Handbrake Off: The Athletic FC's Arsenal show
Arsenal show they belong amongst Europe's elite
•
Art de Roché and Adrian Clarke join Ian Stone to discuss Arsenal’s 1-1 draw away to Atletico Madrid in the semi-final first leg of the Champions League on Wednesday.
The panel reflect on the strong away performance, the togetherness of the squad, Arsenal feeling like they are apart of the European establishment, an outstanding display from Rice in a deeper role, the controversial decisions around the penalties and player fatigue in comparison to their European counterparts.
Plus, they respond to listener messages, discuss the rescheduling of final home game against Burnley, look ahead to the match against Fulham at the Emirates on Saturday and we hear from Terry in Islington in this week’s instalment of ‘Up Your Arsenal’.
