It was all looking so good, so positive... and then Antoine Griezmann struck to change the complexion of our tie against Atletico Madrid.
Having finished 1-1, we go to Spain next week needing to deliver a similar performance if we are to progress to the Europa League final.
Jack Wilshere is confident we will do just that, and this is what he told the media after the match:
on whether it feels like a missed chance…
Yes, but at the same time it’s only half-time. We knew what type of team they are – they were always going to try to hit us on the counter and I thought we dealt with that pretty well and defended really well.
