Remontadahaha as Arsenal dismantle Madrid in Champions League
Arsenal dominated Real Madrid to deservedly win 2-1 at the Bernabeu, dumping the holders out of the Champions League and marching on to the semi-finals.
Hear what it was like in Madrid from Amy Lawrence and James McNicholas, as Art de Roche and Ian Stone reflect on a monumental night for Arsenal - we even managed to get Adrian Clarke away from the snooker to send over his thoughts too.
We talk about the team’s immense performances, the incredible job Mikel Arteta has done in building this team and back to back MOTM performances from Declan Rice.
Plus, reflections on Bukayo Saka’s iconic Bernabeu goal, another outstanding performance from Myles Lewis-Skelly, Jakub Kiwior’s stellar defending and our make-shift No.9 Mikel Merino with two fantastic assists.
Oh, and yes, we look ahead to Ipswich at the weekend.
Warning: strong language and scenes of jubilation throughout this show
