The two teams will face each other again next week, with Arsenal needing to win on home turf on March 7 to stay in the competition. In their previous match, Arsenal had a significant 5-1 aggregate win over Real Madrid, largely thanks to the electric atmosphere in their 3-0 home victory.
Wayne Rooney, a 39-year-old pundit working with Amazon Prime, expressed his disappointment with the Arsenal fans for not replicating the same energy in this match.
He stated, "I was a bit disappointed with how Arsenal played, and I was also disappointed with the fans. I thought the fans against Real Madrid were excellent, but tonight they seemed subdued, almost like an anti-climax. Arsenal had beaten Real Madrid, so many expected them to win easily, but the players and fans didn't show up tonight."
