Arsenal, which took down Real Madrid in the Champions League, could not beat Bournemouth on Saturday as they lost 2-1 at home, causing a setback as they prepare for the next Champions League big game.
Arsenal went into the game with a charged team, hoping to create chances and prepare for their important Champions League semi-final last leg against French giant, Paris St-Germain (PSG).
While Mikel Arteta’s side hoped to win the game, they were disappointed by Bournemouth, who won their first away win against them on their soil and caused a setback to their preparation for the game that could determine their season.
Arsenal scored the first early in the match when Declan Rice fired into Bournemouth’s net, but the visitors responded with two goals in the second half, terminating Arsenal’s fans’ jubilation at the Emirates.
The loss put Arsenal in the position where it needs to overturn a 1-0 loss in Paris against PSG to move to the final of the Champions League.
Arsenal’s hope of lifting the Premier League has already faded after Liverpool won the trophy last week; the team hopes to replace the loss with European success. The Gunners remain hopeful despite the setback, suggesting that their defeat against Bournemouth could serve as motivation to lift the European trophy.
