00:00Drinking red wine. Yeah
00:02No, it's been a great night so far. I expect some substitutes actually to just to freshen it up protects me throw perhaps in soccer
00:08So we'll see what he does second. I was laughing
00:10I'm making the subs but players like fuller and Balligan on the bench gonna sign a new contract sooner partly
00:15You'd love to see him when you can. Yeah, he's a joy
00:17I really really like him and I'm glad that he'll be signing a contract to stay at the club further
00:21But a clean sheet mentality though now for Arsenal. Absolutely back over to Steve McManaman and Peter Drury
00:30Yes, Darren, this will be of course a pleasant change for Arsenal supporters watching as we do the three substitutions
00:39Which have gone through Massa pushed
00:41Vysotsky and linger all on for Romada bar and
00:47stanchu
00:48but a pleasant change for
00:50Arsenal folk the last couple of knockout rounds have been pretty twitchy
00:55It's been jeopardy more or less to the very end there certainly was
00:59Against Benfica when they had to score two late goals. Remember
01:04Right the very end to salvage that game
01:07They made it tough for themselves
01:10By conceding against Olympiacos at home and that tie seemed all but safe
01:15Might all but safe this time surely is safe
01:20So Steve had a lost all
01:22Maximize the next three quarts of an hour of their lives
01:26Well, we all know a few Arsenal fans don't we and even now they're probably still biting the nails because they've
01:32You know what? They've been through at Arsenal
01:36Firstly have to approach the opposition the opposition
01:38I've not been very good idea. They haven't been very good last week and even in the first 45 minutes
01:43So also the better side and then they just have to play professionally
01:48Keep saying all the time manage the game don't make any mistakes. Don't do any silly passes when you don't need to
01:55If it means just pumping it down the field
01:57Run the clock out, you know make a few substitutions thinking about the the weekend's games
02:02I move on from there and gain a lot of confidence. That's what they should be doing
02:07They were excellent in the last game in the Premier League. They're excellent the first 45 minutes
02:11Why stop let's keep on
02:13Building on the performance. They should be saying to each other
02:18Just
02:20For the record
02:23In case you were following that blur of personnel movement
02:27Over the line as we embarked on the second half. There were four changes in the end made by
02:33Slavia Prague coach Dawley Massa post linger and vicinity. We saw little bits of all of those
02:39First leg
02:41In the second
02:44Given the nature of the players he's taken off bar the fullback stand to the midfield playmaker Burj all the captain and
02:51Ramada the deepest lying the
02:54most important defensive midfield player
02:56The suggestion seems very much to be that he's protecting his players to see out the domestic
03:04League campaign now his key players
03:07Accepting as he surely must
03:10Dusted yeah a lot of defensive minder players, but I think you're right Pete. They're just key players, aren't they?
03:16They're the ones who he relies on
03:20Bores you'll
03:21Stand shoe bar the fact that he has taken them off
03:25Even now when they've got such a lead in the Prague colleague top of the league
03:29It shows that he's almost admitted to feet
03:33His soccer
03:37Dawley
03:40Smith Rowe
03:42Shaka
03:47Throw long route round provod who has to yield a corner
03:58Question mark over his fitness as they travel to Prague
04:02Yesterday evening Arsenal, but Smith Rowe has proved tonight that he is fit plus
04:22Delivers
04:24Oh
04:26Oh
04:53Wait
04:56Shevchik. Zelensky wearing, Vysinsky wearing 41, 18 years old, Czech under 17
05:11international. One counts a very exciting player that they're hoping they can
05:16bring through here. This half will be an important part of his education, European
05:21debut.
05:26Like I said, Saka. Off goes Pepe again. Problem for Massapoost. Saka.
05:46That's what they've done well this evening, Arsenal, when they've lost the ball.
05:50You see Pepe, you see Ceballos. Italy-Boston are going to get back in a position in
05:57midfield where they can get shape, they can get into shape again.
06:13It's been a very interesting goal in the Olympic Stadium, Rome. Ajax have scored it
06:17to level that tie up on aggregate. Broppy with the goal, 1-0 to Ajax in Rome, 2-2 on
06:25aggregate. Obviously, Roma got two away goals in Amsterdam, so they're just about
06:30still in the box seat. That, for the Rhine, almost certainly to play Manchester United
06:35in the semi-final.
06:47Brzezinski.
06:54Shevchuk and Kukta. He's kept it well.
07:01Olajinka.
07:06Provod.
07:11Provod again.
07:14Zouma.
07:16Olajinka.
07:19Just in with Zouma.
07:21Showed adventure from centre-half and got a corner.
07:24They're very reluctant to put any type of cross aerially into the box, so they must
07:30feel that Arsenal are much better than them. They're trying to play around and be very
07:36accurate with their passing in there.
07:44Provod.
07:45Dawley.
07:55Brzezinski.
07:57You see, this is stemmed from Slavia Prague corner. They're 3-0 down, and yet they've
08:03gone from having a corner to having the ball at the halfway line.
08:06Provod.
08:08So they're in no rush at all.
08:11Which again says, Steve, doesn't it, that they're not thinking about winning the game,
08:14they're just thinking about damage limitation.
08:17But as a fan of the side, you'd go absolutely crazy. All you want is to get the ball in
08:23the box, cause a bit of trouble, build some pressure. It's as if they do completely the
08:30opposite. Let's hope they stick one in now.
08:37Shevchuk to take.
08:40Yes.
08:49Shevchuk, you know, couldn't get to it, but Pablo Mari headed it away.
08:53Dawley.
08:56Brzezinski.
08:58That's a push, the new right full-back.
09:02So new, he's a very experienced player.
09:0428-year-old, a full Czech international, actually played in the Czech team that beat
09:09England in this stadium in the European Championship qualifying in October of 2019.
09:39Marko biting in.
09:44Being penalised, though, that is more than one issue for the referee to resolve here.
09:57That was a foul, wasn't it?
09:59Still waiting to see what happens to Nicola Pepe.
10:02That was a foul.
10:09Come on, come on, come on.
10:15Free kick for Slavia Prague.
10:1840% of who's outfield side was altered at half-time.
10:33Muscling for space.
10:35Chambers reluctant to afford him it.
10:40Push back.
10:41Push back.
10:45Shevchuk up front to Olajinka.
10:47Go, go, go.
10:49They can watch it over.
10:58Quite significant news again coming in from Rome and Ajax, who were behind from their home leg,
11:04are threatening to turn the tie against Roma right round.
11:07Dusan Tadic, of course, we all remember well from his time at Southampton,
11:12who since then has been stellar for Ajax at Champions League level,
11:16has scored their second goal and from 1-2 down, they lead 3-2.
11:21Ajax against Manchester United in the Europa League.
11:25That rings a pretty recent bell.
11:37Go, go, go.
11:54Olajinka.
11:58Slip in Kukta.
12:05It was the final Jose one, wasn't it?
12:08Yeah, they won it quite comfortably that night, didn't they?
12:20Smith-Rowe.
12:26Magazet was seeking out Pepe.
12:28He's pulled away by Bicinski.
12:31A little touch for Provod.
12:37Go back, go back.
12:43Polish.
12:44Zima.
12:47Dorley.
12:51Schiff from holding.
12:53Came up with the ball cleanly.
13:07Provod.
13:10Provod.
13:16Zima.
13:24This will shoot Arsenal low, Slavia Prague going side to side.
13:31So as long as they get everybody behind the ball, which they're doing,
13:34Lacazette's getting behind the ball.
13:36Play counter-attacking football.
13:39Here comes a counter-attack.
13:40Lacazette.
13:42Pepe.
13:43Lacazette.
13:46Stumbled as he sought to dispatch the shot.
13:49And there's not much of an appeal.
13:51No.
13:52It was only from Lacazette.
13:53He does pull it back.
13:56But whether there was a lot of contact on the follow-through,
13:58or whether he slips, you see he pulls it back there.
14:01He does take his left leg away.
14:05And he does it again.
14:07He does it again.
14:09The game is restarted.
14:11That moment has disappeared.
14:13Holesch is off the hook.
14:25VAR has intervened in Rome and it's back on the edge there because
14:29that Dusan Tadic goal has been ruled out.
14:30but it's still 1-0 for Ajax, 2-2 on aggregate.
14:32Roma's extra away goal counts in their favor.
14:35As things stand, clearly a traumatic night
14:38in the Olympic Stadium.
14:52Let's talk around this tie, of course,
14:53around Arsenal's obligation to qualify
14:56for European football.
14:58Given that this tie is out of the way,
15:00minds will start to move towards the weekend's game
15:03against Fulham, Sunday lunchtime.
15:04They have Fulham, then Everton, then Newcastle,
15:07West Brom, Chelsea, Palace and Brighton,
15:09with points to make up.
15:12Where are they? Ninth in the Premier League,
15:14three behind Everton in eighth,
15:16they have a game in hand, four behind Spurs in seventh.
15:19Depending on who wins the Cups,
15:20that might be a qualifying position.
15:24West Ham are 10 points out of their reach up
15:26in fourth place.
15:29But the domestic programme remains live and pertinent
15:34for Arsenal, Rob Holding arrived late-ish and bullishly
15:38and left a bit on linger.
15:41It's OK. He has to go for those type of challenges.
15:46It's a foul, but it's a foul on the halfway line.
15:4950 yards away from his own goal, breaks up play.
15:53As long as you're clever enough,
15:54it's no problem at all for Rob Holding.
15:57That's it, Rob.
16:02I think Arsenal, moving forward, it's just what level of consistency
16:06they can keep at, isn't it?
16:07That's all it is, and we know how good they can be on their day.
16:11We knew that last year when they won the FA Cup.
16:15It's whether they can do it on a consistent basis,
16:18playing in Europe and then going away,
16:20of course at the weekend games it's always difficult.
16:26the FA Cup that earned them their spot in this competition. A 25th consecutive European
16:33campaign. A whole generation without interruption. But there is jeopardy now.
16:43The possibility that this much cherished item of the continent's furniture could go
16:50missing unless things go right over the next month, month and a half.
16:59Smith Rowe certainly gone right tonight.
17:03I think Martin said in the studio it was four games to win this competition, well now it's
17:12only going to be three. And it looks as if it's home and away against Villarreal, which
17:19they're more than capable of looking at Spanish opposition in European competitions this
17:23year. And then of course the final.
17:26And they've taken four points off Manchester United this year in the Premier League.
17:31We've seen that, as I said, I refer back to the FA Cup, any given day, 90 minutes, when
17:35you just need to get a result, we know how they can do Arsenal and how good they've been.
17:42So it's sincerely up to them.
17:52Pepe's delivery.
18:01Still a good challenge from Xhaka.
18:03Again, he's not going to say clever challenge, because no challenge is like that.
18:08But you can see what he was doing, Xhaka, he was not letting him out of that area with the ball.
18:16Which in a game like this, that's exactly what you should do, just break the play up.
18:23It's a yellow card here for Ole Inka.
18:27Yeah, it was his reaction, Ole Inka's reaction to the challenge, the challenge itself.
18:31This challenge is fine. Yes, it's a foul, but it's fine.
18:45And then Dani Ceballos keeps the ball, and then there's a little bit of...
18:48I mean, there's nothing really, Dani Ceballos makes the most of it, doesn't he?
18:51Rolling over, shouldn't be doing that.
18:53Don't want to get involved with that when you're 3-0 up, forget it.
18:56So, Ole Inka in the book, I'm not sure whether I saw the referee perhaps showing a yellow card to Ceballos then as well.
19:09Wait to see whether there's confirmation of that.
19:20That's the one thing I would say now for the Arsenal players, don't get involved with any histrionics
19:24from the opposition, they might get frustrated, they might get a little bit more aggressive.
19:30Do not get involved.
19:36None of the Arsenal players, by the way, are within a yellow card for missing the first leg of the semi-final,
19:41which is good news.
19:48First leg, by the way, is away from home.
19:53Two weeks from now, Thursday the 29th of April.
19:58And then they will welcome Villareal back to London the following Thursday, May the 6th.
20:05Assuming nothing ridiculously dramatic at either venue between now and 90 minutes.
20:13Zouma Emery, as well as being a former Arsenal coach, is a Europa League specialist,
20:23won it three times with Sevilla, as well as taking Arsenal to the final in 2019.
20:43Zouma.
20:54Holding.
20:55Saka.
20:58Ceballos.
20:59Neatly done for Thomas Partey.
21:02Yeah, really nice play by Arsenal, playing out of that press from Slavia Prague,
21:07going on the front foot further forward.
21:11Saka for Pepe, driving up Massapousse.
21:25Thomas Partey.
21:26Danny Ceballos.
21:27Now Pepe's on his way.
21:29It's Nikola Pepe.
21:31Zouma got there.
21:32Smithrow followed up.
21:34The whistle had already gone for offside.
21:36And I can point you in the direction of the FA Cup semi-final,
21:39which is live for you from BT Sport this Sunday evening,
21:41from 6 o'clock, Leicester against Southampton for the right to play Chelsea
21:45or Manchester City in the FA Cup final.
21:47That's on 1HD.
21:49And because it's Cup semi-final weekend,
21:51our Premier League offering must wait until Thursday at 7.30pm
21:55when Leicester return home to play West Bromwich Albion.
21:59Well, Smithrow's had a super night,
22:02and given that his fitness was in question,
22:05it seems logical that he should be the first to give way,
22:08and Mohamed Elneny comes on in his stead.
22:12Yeah, perfect night's work.
22:16Play 60 minutes, be involved in everything good that Arsenal produced,
22:21and then have a bit of a rest.
22:24And he can stay down.
22:35A bit of muscle from Thomas Partey, not too much more than that.
22:45And he's got a bit of a bit of a rest.
22:48He's got a bit of a rest.

27:08t t t t t t t t t t t t .
27:15Having got away with that
27:17and re-established their pre-eminence in that tie, courtesy of Edin Dzeko.
27:2118 minutes from time, one each on the night,
27:24and 3-2 Roma now on aggregate.
27:29That would be a storyline as well, wouldn't it?
27:31Edin Dzeko playing against Manchester United.
27:39But an Ajax goal there, which my mind's not playing tricks with me,
27:43takes that to extra time.
27:44Yes, it does, yeah.
28:17Still 16th major European quarter-finalist,
28:20they've won nine of the first 15,
28:22about to win ten of the first 16, three in a row.
28:25And actually the quarter-final stays quite comfortably on each occasion.
28:292018, they got away from CSKA Moscow by the end of the first leg.
28:352019, three-nil on aggregate against Napoli,
28:40got a three-goal cushion here as well.
28:42They haven't lost a quarter-final in Europe for 11 years.
28:462010, Barcelona beat them when Messi scored all four at the Emirates.
29:16SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
29:43Dore.
29:46SHOUTS OF ENCOURAGEMENT
29:51Another flat for Slavia Prague,
29:52this was a night of generational importance for them.
29:56They were looking to make their first European semi-final for 25 years.
29:59Actually, the year they made the semi-final was the last year
30:03Arsenal didn't play in Europe, 1995-96.
30:10The finals that year, they beat Roma, Karol Poborski was a scorer,
30:16Vladimir Smica was in that team as well.
30:1925 years ago tomorrow, they lost the second leg of the semi-final to Bordeaux.
30:23Looked that up too, what a Bordeaux team it was.
30:25Lizarazu, Dugarry, and with a full head of hair, Zinedine Zidane.
30:31LAUGHS
30:34If only he turned into somebody good, that Zinedine Zidane fella.
30:40And you know, that year that Bordeaux reached the final,
30:42the other semi-final, believe it or not, in the UEFA Cup,
30:45it was Bayern Munich against Barcelona.
30:47LAUGHS
30:49Ray Hargill against Cruyff.
30:54Bayern came through, Kahn and Barbel and Ziger and Helmer and Scholl and Didi Harman.
30:59Jürgen Klinsmann, who won the two-legged final.
31:02JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, JÜRGEN KLINSMANN, J

32:02Jaka it's a nice ball Pepe problem for Holish here is Lacazette
32:11ah it's a super finish as much time as he wanted Alex Lacazette scored when he was ready
32:19and Arsenal have hit four on the continental road
32:23yeah another clinical move and finish by Arsenal
32:32but out on their feet now the Slavia Prague side
32:38but it was a great move good ball by Shaka to set Pepe on his way Pepe doesn't flash it across
32:44the box he picks out Lacazette and as you said Pete he's got the time to control it to move it
32:51and then smash it home brilliant night's work by the boys in blue this evening
32:57and they're marching on to the semi-final of the Europa League
33:02two goals at Bremel Lane in South Yorkshire on Sunday two more goals
33:10in Prague on Thursday evening
33:13seven goals in his last nine games now and Arsenal are ready to make late changes
33:30yeah why not i know he likes to get his hat trick he'd love to get his hat trick
33:34like as that but as you can clearly see he's not going to he's getting wrapped in cotton wool
33:39for future games so is Saka and rightly so it's what exactly what I'd be doing as well
33:47take the main man off they're just too important to take the risk
33:53Cedric's there Martinelli's there and indeed Eddie Ketia is there
34:03all smiles there's no jeopardy in this game it's become
34:09polite it's become a given Thomas Pate is the other one to give way which makes equal sense
34:26fullback and Xhaka steps up into midfield with the armband
34:39and it looks like that's where Granit Xhaka is going to play from now on
34:46until Kieran Taney probably gets back fit but
34:51two performances three nil at Sheffield United
34:54left back to four nil up before he's moved into midfield so shows how versatile he is as well
35:09so it's uh Dundalk back into the group stage
35:21there was somewhat less uh tension and burden around that game he felt as though it might be
35:27burdensome it has turned out to be anything but quick word about upcoming premier league
35:32attractions for you not until the weekend after next but two really important games
35:37Saturday week the 24th from half past 11 Liverpool against Newcastle and then the next
35:44evening from half past six Sunday the 25th of April
35:47a derby in the Midlands between Aston Villa and West Bromwich Albion
36:07so
36:2012th game of Arsenal's European campaign that's 32 goals they've scored now
36:2532 goals scored by 15 different players
36:3017 actually if you include the two guys from Molde who each scored an own goal
36:38so
36:56halfway it's nearly a state down
37:02it's being shown the card as he stands up again
37:07it's a strange one wasn't it and it wasn't certainly wasn't a yellow cards he's just trying
37:14to push the defender away and thankfully that yellow card won't mean anything going into the
37:21next game
37:51one of his social media channels in the moments up to kickoff revealed that he'd contracted
37:57malaria whilst away playing internationally for Gabon I'm no expert on all that I couldn't tell
38:09you how long that's likely to keep him out of the picture but it explains his absence tonight
38:14yeah it's incredible that he came on as substitutes a week ago today as well in this
38:20game he must have I presume he was suffering from a den as well as you said I'm no expert
38:25but if you know that was after the international break so I don't know what symptoms it shows
38:31but he did come on last week and actually did really well when he came on
38:44so
38:59arch around his header
39:13um
39:32troubled
39:44Wyszynski, Linga
40:01oh nice from Dani Ceballos he's having a chase
40:13so
40:38this will be a third consecutive European quarterfinal in which they have been
40:43knocked out by the English going back to the
40:45year 2000 when Harry Kuhl scored a goal on this ground for Leeds at this stage
40:52and incorporating of course 2019
40:57when Chelsea won both legs a second by four goals to three at Stamford Bridge
41:12so happens that the last two times Slavia Prague have been in the quarterfinals they've
41:16lost to English teams and Arsenal have reached the final 2000 and 2019
41:24this is quite a run from Martinelli off everything but the finish
41:31yeah great run from Martinelli very direct very quick goes left slows him up goes again
41:40as I said he just required the finish he opens his body up he did everything correct gets the angle
41:47just can't wrap his foot around it lovely play from him though
42:09oh
42:40oh
42:59Cedric
43:10another must have changed this will be a popular one not just because Nicola Pepe is of course
43:16deserving of his own ovation but because Falarin Balagun is the topic of many a gunner's conversation
43:26right now there's a real eagerness that Arsenal cling on to a player who is exciting to such a
43:32degree as at his best does Nicola Pepe score again tonight as he was in the first leg
43:40but the indications seem to be now that the
43:45New York-born striker is inclined to stay at Arsenal for the longer term
44:09uh
44:23Derby on Monday Premier League two match played at Loughborough University
44:33nice step up for a little bit of experience in it particularly away from home I know
44:36there's no crowds in but still always nice to play different country
44:43even if there's only 750 of the locals in making a bit of noise
44:47there were so yeah correct yeah it's always nice to play in a European game it's completely
44:54different than an under-23 game let me tell you that there's a bit of experience for the young boy
45:07so
45:27well for him the day that got away so much anticipation so much
45:32uh pent-up enthusiasm so much ambition for Slavia Prague they will be champions of their
45:39country again but he must swallow the fact that despite their relative heroics in North London a
45:46week ago they have been by quite a margin second best tonight as Arsenal from the outset pulled
45:59out all the stops Cedric
46:04Martinelli
46:07supposed to seize it back
46:12yeah it's been an excellent performance from Arsenal
46:16they've done exactly what they should have done almost what they should have done last week
46:20but they've turned it on today when it matters and that's the most important thing and it's
46:25fantastic to have two English teams in the semi-final of the Champions League and
46:29likewise to have two English teams in the semi-finals of the Europa League
46:35really encouraging yeah the full set yeah and they've been kept apart
46:41we could have the ultimate jackpot of two all-english finals
46:54and goal for Granada right at the end at Old Trafford two nil united on the night
46:58add that to the two they got last week and united have canceled through four nil
47:11oh free of stress free of jeopardy unchained unworried arsenal with broad smile and brimming
47:21confidence dance carefree into the semi-finals again Pepe Lacazette from the spot and Saka
47:29during the first half and then in an entirely relaxed second half Lacazette again
47:36Arsenal have done the job and some four nil on the night five one on aggregate it is just
47:43how they dreamt it down certainly as Peter thank you very much to Steve as well it was done by
47:50halftime Karen Carney Martin Keown have been watching on just what you wanted to see Martin
47:55from Arsenal tonight yeah excellent uh very much
