Mesut Ozil 8

Along with Xhaka, was involved in everything.

Worked hard to win back possession without anyone on BTSport even noticing, allowing them to maintain their Lazy Mesut narrative, played more key passes than anyone else on the pitch and maintained possession like the king that he is.

His finishing, however, was, like the rest of the team, poor.

Danny Welbeck 7

Spoke before the match of the debt he owed Arsene Wenger and how he wanted to make sure the boss went out on a high and set about making that happen against Atletico.

He worked hard all night but the flaws in his game were evident in front of goal.

Alexandre Lacazette 8 ♦

Six minutes in had a chance to open the scoring but blazed his volley over. Was denied shortly after by a brilliant save from Oblak. His dive in the box was awful, his leap for his goal brilliant.

Hit the bar, had eight shots in total and played five key passes.

MotM.

Next, subs and notable mentions…

Subs

With a bench that contained Petr Cech, Calum Chambers, Rob Holding, Alex Iwobi, Sead Kolasinac, Ainsley Maitland-Niles and Eddie Nketiah, Arsene Wenger didn’t believe he had anyone available to change the game in the final minutes after Atleti equalised.

Of course, had Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang been allowed to play in this competition – as players in his position will be next season – Arsenal would have had either the Gabonese forward or Lacazette to turn to.

Had they not sold Olivier Giroud they would have also had him to come on to get on the end of some of Bellerin’s crosses.

With none of those things an option, Wenger made no changes.
