Got to give credit to the way Arsenal broke Bayern’s aggressive man-to-man press in that second half, they did well to bypass it completely by going direct
Arsenal had 105 passes in their own half in the first half, 48 in the second half
They stretched Bayern right out of shape by doing so

At the same time, we got double-David goals today in the #UCL! Before JD found the net, Promise David had a crucial goal in a big Union St Gilloise win vs. Galatasaray
No matter the competition, Promise David can't stop scoring - he now has 2 in the UCL, which is remarkable given his story

For the first time since August, Jonathan David has found the scoresheet, as he scores a crucial winner off the bench for Juventus vs. Bodø/Glimt in #UCL action
It's not his prettiest goal, but it's a hugely important one for a player struggling for confidence. Good to see

When Heung-Min Son curled in his free kick, #VWFC appeared destined for a familiar, heartbreaking ending
But unlike past Whitecaps teams, they knuckled down and won an MLS classic vs LAFC, thanks to some grit and inexplicable luck

#VWFC WIN AND ADVANCE TO THE CONFERENCE FINAL!!
Truly an all time MLS game, and it ends with the biggest playoff win of the Vancouver Whitecaps MLS era. What an unhinged start, middle and ending

After the way the second half of regular time went, that was a very gutsy extra time for #VWFC, especially when Belal Halbouni went down and they had to play that last 10 minutes 9v11
Onto penalties now!

Incredible. After the dream first half from #VWFC, they've completely fallen apart here in the second half, and LAFC have just tied it up via a Heung-Min Son free kick GOLAZO in the 90+6'
The 'Caps have been unable to adjust, and are now on the ropes down a player with this one at 2-2

Incredible. One of the best halves I've seen from #VWFC, at least considering the magnitude of the match
Completely tilted the field on and off the ball with the way they attacked and pressed
LAFC has LOTS to do in the second half - but they're still in this one

After his winner vs. Mallorca, Tani Oluwaseyi has a goal every 121' for Villarreal CF in all comps (5G/1A in 14 appearances)
Who would've had him scoring more league goals (2) than Jonathan David at this stage? Great move so far
Now, can he get them flowing for the #CanMNT...

If you’re looking for something to watch pre Whirecaps vs LAFC, @Copa90 have focused in on soccer culture on Canada’s west coast.
Just some fantastic storytelling, and it was a pleasure to help out @ElMengem with it.

Promise David and Tani Oluwaseyi heard the debates about the #CanMNT striker spot and put in claims of their own today:

Ah yes, bring in the striker you signed this summer off the bench in the 88th minute of a 1-1 game. Shock: it didn’t work out. More points dropped for Juventus
What are they doing with Jonathan David??😭
