| 0:28.6 | Welcome in to the latest edition of ESPN FC. I'm Dan Thomas. |
| 0:38.3 | joined by Craig Burley and Ali Moreno will kick things off with that second Champions League semi-final. |
| 0:44.3 | This one, of course, between Athletica and Auxle, not quite as exciting as yesterday. |
| 0:49.3 | In fact, it would be kind of a tale of three penalties. |
| 0:52.3 | Two of them would be converted. |
| 0:53.3 | Jorcares just before the break. Alvarez then in the second half after handball from Ben |
| 0:59.0 | Y. And then one was awarded to Arsenal after a challenge on Esley, the referee, sent to the monitor. |
| 1:05.0 | He changed his mind. No penalty was given as it finishes then. Athletica Madrid won. |
| 1:09.0 | Arsenal won. Frank Leboeuf and it's Stuart Robson. So I'm going to say to you, because I'll say to him and he'll tell me to shut up. That wasn't as bad as we thought it was going to be, was it? Oh, that's not a starting point. What do you mean? That's not a starting point. Come on, I said. I'll start it yesterday. I still feel, you know. You know, it wasn't, there was actually... Well, I'm still a bit deflated here. See, that's fine, I didn't go to you. Well, no, but yesterday I was on the edge of my seat and I just felt I was slumped in it today. It was always going to be disappointing compared to yesterday, but I didn't think it was as disappointing as it could have been. And again, that's a terrible starting point. No, it's not. Look, I'd let's, I think, look, look, yeah. |
| 1:49.0 | If Letty created the better chances, I think they looked the more likely, but as in a way performance goes, |
| 1:55.0 | yeah, you're one one's pretty decent, considering from Arsenal's point of view. |
| 1:59.0 | Some contentious decisions, I think better finish him from it letty. |
| 2:03.6 | And, you know, maybe they had a goal or two to take to London, but that wasn't the case. |
| 2:08.6 | And yeah, I mean, the first half kind of just fizzled out, didn't it? |
| 2:13.6 | The second half got a little bit lively, but I've led to take control certainly for large chunks of that and again referees had to make some big calls it was always going to be difficult after yesterday I mean it was such a great game and these two teams played up to type in fact they were probably and certainly from Arsenal's point of view maybe even a little more exciting than they've been recently because they haven't been good to watch recently. |
| 2:35.3 | Athlete would be disappointed, weren't they? |
| 2:37.2 | As Craig said, the chances that they had certainly in that first period of the second half. |
| 2:41.4 | Let me just say, in general, the first half was every bit of what we thought this game was |
| 2:46.6 | going to be. |
