Arsenal travelled to The Netherlands to make a statement and a statement they did make with a record breaking 7-1 demolition of PSV Eindhoven in the first leg of their UCL last 16 fixture.
The emphatic win makes Mikel Arteta’s men the first side in history to score seven goals away in the knockout stages of the competition, not even Real Madrid could pull it off.
Arsenal’s Captain, Martin Odegaard (with a brace), Timber, Nwaneri, Merino, Trossard, Calafiori all contributed to the carnage.
Beyond the UCL, this is the most Arsenal has scored in a game in 13 years.
It would take too much for PSV to over turn things and knock Arsenal out with the return leg set to be played next week at the Emirates, so it would be safe to say, Arsenal can start preparing to face either Real or Atletico Madrid in the quarter finals.
