If we’re really looking for positives, then Arsenal having this tie all but sealed is pretty handy as they play Chelsea a few days after the second leg. At this rate they’ll be able to rest a few.

If Arsenal score any more than this, I fancy their chances.

I took it upon myself to watch the game tonight for that very reason. He has… not been good…

PSV have been absolutely megashit. We would’ve battered them by 4-5 minimum too. 1-7 now. Boscogli unbelievably bad for four of the goals by my reckoning. Terrible night all round for them and brilliant for Arsenal, but PSV have been miles off it.

Our games with Newcastle and Bournemouth were ten times more interesting. The two commentators, both clearly Madrid fans......zzzzzzzzzzzzz.

In theory there is nothing stopping them adding a load of youngsters to their B list squad and playing them. They can make changes to that squad up to 24 hours before the next leg.

Don't think they need to add any MORE youngsters to their Champions League squad! - UEFA Arsenal CL squad

Well, the French are happy that Arsenal's result moves France above Netherlands in the UEFA rankings

France were already ahead of the Netherlands. The table before last nights games is near the bottom of this article.

Who will be rewarded with extra places in next season's Champions League? This is how it works, and which leagues are leading the race.

Ah, I guess they are happy that they are further ahead then (reading the match comments on lEquipe.fr)

It's immaterial really as neither France or Netherlands are going to be challenging for one of the extra CL places. Actually I see now that France staying ahead of Netherlands is vital for 4 CLs spots in the 26-27 season as 5th in the co-efficients get 4 spots and 6th only get 3.
Last nights results would have made very little difference on the co-efficients. PSV losing hasn't cost Netherlands anything, Lille drawing got France 1 extra point for the season, but that would have only added about 0.15 onto their co-efficient score.
Moder just hit the bar, from an Osman pull-back. They are 2-0 down at home though.
Early doors but PSG look up for it vs Liverpool.
