He was unable to reach the top and lost his defensive skills.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In the last 16 of the Champions League, Manchester City, Tottenham, Newcastle and Chelsea lost by a combined score of 28-11. Tottenham, Chelsea and Newcastle all conceded five or more goals in one leg or another. Newcastle suffered the humiliation of conceding seven goals in a non-camp match.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">How City were able to hold Real Madrid to a 5-1 aggregate victory is anyone&#8217;s guess. Vinicius Junior should have scored a hat-trick in five frantic minutes against the Etihad this week.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Arsenal conceded only one goal against Bayer Leverkusen in two matches. And guess what? They advanced to the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The same Arsenal team that has been accused of being one of the dullest teams in Top League history. The side that sucks the joy out of soccer. Try telling your supporters that Mikel Arteta and his team will be holding an open-top bus parade through north London at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">There was a famous chant among old Arsenal supporters: &#8220;1-0 to Arsenal&#8221;. It was during the George Graham era that Arsenal won trophies for fun.<\/p>\n<p><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_1bc197\">read more: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">Chelsea and Newcastle say they should be kicked out of the Champions League in dramatic rant<\/span><\/span><span data-testid=\"readmore\" class=\"ReadMore_readmore-prefix__xS44r __className_1bc197\">read more: <span class=\"ReadMore_readmore-link__eF9pN\">UEFA wants talks with Premier League leaders to ease growing frustration with VAR<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">In the modern game, teams are expected to bring the ball out from the back. Goalkeepers are an extension of the defense and must be good with their feet. Fighting through the press and scoring goals on the training ground. However, the skills to stop them seem to be ignored.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The great Pep Guardiola realized this in January and signed Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace. However, the movement was too slow. Guehi did not start in this week&#8217;s second leg against Real, with City torn to shreds from kick-off. That&#8217;s no surprise coming from someone who is considered the greatest manager of all time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Arsenal have scored one more goal than City in the league this season. But this is not the reason why they are currently in pole position and crowned champions. This will happen because Arteta&#8217;s side have conceded six fewer goals than City.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">The striker wins the match, but the defender also wins the title. Plain and simple.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Follow the Arsenal FB page!

United won the title.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh  undefined\" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\">Arsenal can be a bit dull and boring. But Arteta is focused on respecting the fundamentals required in every game.
