To some, Rosenior’s game plan yesterday was an admission of inferiority. But was it not an admission of reality? Arsenal are a better team than Chelsea, in yesterday’s circumstances and in general.

This is the best - and funniest - Champions League moment I’ve seen in a while. The fact it’s Mourinho vs Real Madrid is just *chef’s kiss*
Benfica goalkeeper Anatoliy Trubin's 97th-minute header against Real Madrid sent Jose Mourinho's side through to the Champions League play-offs at Marseille's expense.
Benfica will play either Inter or Real Madrid for a place in the last 16 — Real were third in the table going into this evening.
