No. [367]: The Champions League group stage is over

Borussia Dortmund's 1-0 defeat to Arsenal shocked everyone, is this still the Bundesliga champion? Borussia Dortmund's performance in the Champions League has made everyone smash their glasses.

With this defeat, Dortmund have lost their chance to qualify, and Dortmund's Champions League road this season is over.

The other match in this group is between Marseille and Olympiacos, in fact, if Marseille win against Olympiacos, Marseille will be able to qualify from the group. But in this game, Olympiacos actually beat Marseille 1-0 away from home.

In this case, now Olympiacos and Marseille have the same number of points, and the relationship between the two teams is the same, this last game depends on who can win, if they both win, it will depend on goal difference.

Of course, in the final round of this group stage, the Marseille team will face Dortmund, which has been eliminated, and the chances of winning are very large. And Olympiacos has to face the Arsenal team, although the Arsenal team has qualified in advance, maybe the fire is on the bench, but even if it is a substitute, Olympiacos may not be able to beat the Arsenal team.

Therefore, even if Marseille loses to Olympiacos, Marseille have a better chance of qualifying.

With this round of fixtures in place, Arsenal are preparing for the league weekend, which takes on Fulham at their home turf.

Fulham are not strong, and now they are 15th in the Premier League, Arsenal are theoretically in a position to win, but football is round, there is no comparison, it is difficult to say anything.

The Arsenal team attaches great importance to this game, and they have made full preparations to prevent any accidents in this game.

Arsène Wenger is naturally the main force, now the league is the main thing, the Arsenal team is going to start the crazy mode, now is the time for the Arsenal team to earn points.

At the beginning of the game, Arsenal took advantage of the home advantage and attacked aggressively, besieging the Fulham team. The Fulham team retreated across the board and waited for an opportunity to counterattack, but the strength of the two teams was indeed very different.

In the 11th minute of the first half, Dongfang Chen made a wonderful back-heel pass in the penalty area, and Van Persie swept the football into Fulham's goal with a sweeping shot.

After scoring a goal, Arsenal continued their attacking frenzy and they believe they will soon be able to score a second goal and extend the scoreline.

Sure enough, in the thirtieth minute of the first half of the game, the Arsenal team played a delicate match in the front, and finally Dongfang Chen went straight to the ribs, and Walcott, who rushed up, scored directly with a strong kick, 2-0.

Although at the beginning of the second half, Fulham scored a goal to close the score gap. But soon, Arsenal returned the favor, with Arsenal midfielder Vidal sending the ball straight into the Fulham goal.

Three to one, Arsenal won three points against Fulham at their home stadium.

With those three points, Arsenal are back in the top four of the league and are now on 28 points, surpassing fourth-placed Newcastle United, who are now on 26 points.

Arsenal's return to the top four in the league has made Arsenal fans excited, and they all cheered excitedly and sang for the Arsenal team.

Manchester City is still at the top of the league with 35 points, seven points ahead of Arsenal, which is still a big difference, and Tottenham Hotspur is in second place with 31 points, just behind Manchester City. Third is Manchester United, with 30 points, two points ahead of Arsenal.

Chelsea, on the other hand, are sixth in the Premier League with 25 points, so it's no wonder that Villas-Boas is in a bad place right now, and it is said that the end of the class is not far off.

Arsenal face Manchester City in the Carabao Cup next week, and they are very strong at the moment, and they have surprised everyone by surprise in the league.

At this time, Arsenal against Manchester City also decided that there is nothing to take advantage of, if Arsenal wants to compete with Manchester City for the League Cup promotion opportunity, then in this round of games, Arsenal will have to fight Manchester City.

As soon as the Manchester City team is stumbled, the consumption of the main players of the Arsenal team is very large, which will affect the results of the league. Now the team behind Arsenal is chasing very closely, and Tottenham Hotspur is two goals away from Manchester City, even if Manchester City waves one, there is no big problem, they are still the first in the league.

At this time, Arsène Wenger has to think about it, whether to give up this League Cup, if he doesn't give up, I'm afraid there will be problems in this league, right?

Arsène Wenger called the coaching staff together to discuss it and decided not to give up on the Carabao Cup. But the Arsenal team does not send the main players to play, let the substitutes of the Arsenal team to fight with the Manchester City team, even if they lose, they can't make the Manchester City team win too easily, at least they have to consume the Manchester City team well.

At home against Manchester City in midweek, Dongfang Chen and others all sat in the stands to watch this game.

Arsenal's side is all on the bench, Manchester City is also on the bench, the weight of the League Cup is really insufficient, the Manchester City team does not take it seriously, they value the league title, and they don't want to consume too much in the league, which affects the results of the league.

So, this time Arsène Arsène Wenger's wishful thinking failed.

This Carabao Cup match has become a confrontation between the substitutes of Arsenal and Manchester City, the substitutions of both teams are gritting their teeth and attacking frantically, and they also want to have a good example in front of their managers, so that these managers remember him and give him more opportunities.

The substitutes of both teams played very well, creating a lot of threatening offensive opportunities, but they were really worse in seizing opportunities, and the substitutes of both teams were actually evenly matched, and whoever won was well deserved.

Clearly, City had the better luck today and at the end of the game, they scored in the 90th minute.

In the final game, Manchester City's substitutes had the last laugh, Manchester City advanced to the last four of the League Cup, while Arsenal were eliminated from the League Cup.

Although it was a pity to lose this game, it also relieved the Arsenal team of the task and allowed them to have more experience to devote themselves to the league, so Arsène Wenger felt that it was still acceptable.

This season, Arsenal's main goal is the league and the Champions League, and everything else can be abandoned if necessary.

Arsenal's main players were given time to rest in preparation for the weekend's game. Arsenal will travel to Wigan Athletic at the weekend, who have been poor and have dropped so much this season that they are no longer in the form of previous seasons.

This season, they have fallen directly into the relegation zone and are now in the penultimate place in the Premier League, with only nine points, which is very sad.

Arsenal should win this game easily, Arsenal is very confident in themselves, but Arsène Wenger kept reminding Arsenal players before the game that they must not underestimate any opponent, every game must go all out, and now Arsenal cannot afford to lose any game.

After coming to the away side, the Arsenal players are also cautious, and now it is very crucial for the Arsenal team, and every game cannot be missed.

In this game, Dongfang Chen naturally appeared in the starting list, and the Arsenal team started all the main teams, and they wanted to win every game in the league.

Although Wigan Athletic is a relegation team, their strength may not be strong, but their home stadium is not easy to mess with, the relegation team is the main sharp, often at home they have to fight with other teams.

But after the start of today's game, the Arsenal team was anti-guest-oriented, and quickly suppressed Wigan Athletic, and sure enough, the gap in strength between the two teams is very large, no matter how hard Wigan Athletic tries, it still changed the current situation.

In the thirtieth minute of the first half, the long-term Arsenal team finally broke through the goal of Wigan Athletic, and it was Dongfang Chen who scored the goal, and his long-range shot from outside the penalty area blasted the goal of Wigan Athletic, and Arsenal led 1-0.

Dongfang Chen is now the top scorer in the Premier League, and he is still far ahead. Many goalscorers in the Premier League secretly complained about Dongfang Chen, saying that Dongfang Chen had taken medicine.

After scoring this goal, the Arsenal team completely found their senses and suddenly blossomed in full swing.

Just before half-time, Arsenal striker Robin van Persie received a pass from midfielder Mikel Arteta and fired a powerful shot into Wigan Athletic's side to give Arsenal a 2-0 lead.

At the beginning of the second half, Arsenal did not stop, they continued to attack, and at the beginning of the second half, Arsenal wide player Theo Walcott scored, and soon Arsenal led Wigan Athletic 3-0.

After taking a 3-0 lead, Arsène Wenger immediately made a substitution, replacing Dongfang Chen and other main players to let them rest more.

By this time in the game, Arsenal had basically won the game, and Wigan Athletic was difficult to equalize.

Although the main players of the Arsenal team are off the field, the Arsenal team still occupies the initiative on the field, and Wigan Athletic can't attack very well, and is still suppressed by the Arsenal team.

Although Arsenal's control has also declined, Wigan Athletic really can't make any big waves. In the 34th minute of the second half, Arsenal's midfielder JD An received a cross and broke the header to make the score 4-0.

It was also the final score of the game, as Arsenal beat Wigan Athletic by four goals away to get three points and continue to press the top three.

However, the top three teams have all won, and Arsenal have not narrowed the gap between them and the previous teams, but they can bite the other side tightly, and this is actually the job done.

The following week Arsenal will continue to play double fixtures a week, with the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in midweek and the Premier League at the weekend.

In the midweek UEFA Champions League, Arsenal challenged Olympiacos away, Arsène Wenger did not fly to the away stadium with any main players at all, and Dongfang Chen and other main players stayed in London to rest and prepare for the weekend's league game.

Arsenal, who came on as an all-substitute, suffered a 3-1 defeat at Olympiacos' home stadium.
