JOB DONE. Arsenal are officially into the Champions League Semi-Finals after a gritty 0-0 at the Emirates, and we’ve booked a date with Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid! 🛡️

In this instant reaction podcast, we’re breaking down a night of pure tension. Declan Rice was absolutely IMMENSE tonight—a captain’s performance in the middle of the park to see us through. However, it’s not all good news. Noni Madueke going off injured is a massive concern with the Semi-Finals looming. Is our squad depth about to be pushed to the limit?

We discuss:

- The defensive discipline to secure the clean sheet.

- Rice’s dominant display in the pivot.

- The severity of Madueke’s injury and who steps in.

- Early thoughts on the tactical war coming against Atleti.

The dream is alive, but the stakes just got even higher.

👇 How worried are you about the Madueke injury? And give me your ratings for Rice below!
