Arsenal’s date with destiny has arrived: ‘This is a beautiful moment’

LONDON — All of Arsenal’s focus for this season is on the Champions League and they’ve been building towards this moment since Mikel Arteta took charge in December 2019.

And long before that.

With their Premier League title hopes for this season all but over, for the last few weeks all of the focus has switched to the Champions League with their quarterfinal second leg at Real Madrid on Wednesday a huge moment in Arteta’s project.

Leading 3-0 from a pulsating first leg in north London, Arsenal have one foot in the semifinals against either PSG or Aston Villa and they would be favored to be either to reach the final in Munich.
