Last stage before the final. On the occasion of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal welcomes Wolfsburg at the Emirates StadiumMonday, May 1. Came back with a draw almost miraculous of their trip to Germany (2-2)THE Gunners can count on the support of their public at home. In the absence of captain Leah Williamson, victim of a cruciate ligament rupture a few days before the first leg, Arsenal had indeed suffered during the first act.
Trailing 2-0 after just 24 minutes, the Londoners pulled their heads out of the water just before the break, thanks to the closing of the gap by Souza (45th). While we might have expected a festival of one training of Wolfsburg euphoric (18 goals scored in his last 4 games), these are finally the Gunners who again cracked the German wall in the 70th minute, on a strike from Blackstenius. The suspense remains for this semi-final second leg of the Champions League, which will determine the future opponent of the Blaugranas, released from the trap set by Chelsea on Thursday.
