Europa League: Arsenal to face CSKA Moscow

Well, it’s hardly a surprise that Arsene Wenger stood up for his players in this matter.

It is understood UEFA’s disciplinary body has been reviewing incidents from Thursday’s Europa League matches.

From there, Arsenal grew in confidence and eventually won 3-1 on the night.

“We have to wait and see who we get”.

Wenger recently proclaimed English players the new masters of diving whilst defending Tottenham Hotspur manager Mauricio Pochettino’s remarks on the accusations of diving which had been levelled at both Dele Alli and Harry Kane.

Goalscorer Xhaka added: “I am happy I scored and I could help the team. I will give him my honest feeling as well”. But Wenger was impressed with how his team showed resilience to recover and beat Gennaro Gattuso’s Milan.

“Welbeck is a striker, he has to do what he does”, Gattuso said. But we can’t use that as a reference for entire English football. “I don’t want any alibi”.

In case you haven’t really been following what’s going on, a Russian exile living in London died this week, and it is widely suspected that said Russian was killed by the Russian government.

“The referee and assistant referee completely buy it”. “Milan lost qualification at San Siro” against Arsenal.

Fans from another of Moscow’s teams, Spartak, were involved in violent clashes with Athletic Bilbao supporters in Spain earlier this season, resulting in the death of one police officer.

“Now we have to take it one game at a time”. Overall, I think many people didn’t expect us to respond like we did.

Atletico Madrid head coach Diego Simeone is concerned he will be without Filipe Luis for a significant period of time after the left-back was injured during Thursday’s dominant 5-1 Europa League win over Lokomotiv Moscow.

Arsenal join the likes of CSKA Moscow, Red Bull Salzburg, Atletico Madrid, Lazio, Marseille, Sporting Lisbon and Red Bull Leipzig in the quarters.
