Arsenal's Champions League preparations go wrong after another loss to Bournemouth
- Arsenal suffered a 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, deepening their struggles in domestic competition ahead of their crucial Champions League semi-final return match in Paris on Wednesday.
- This defeat followed a sequence of dropped leads and poor defensive lapses, including conceding two second-half goals within eight minutes despite Declan Rice’s first-half goal.
- Manager Mikel Arteta described the team’s failure to convert chances and maintain leads as a major issue and urged players to channel their frustration into a strong performance in the upcoming PSG match.
- Arsenal currently trails Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 from the first leg, ranks second in the Premier League, and must secure six points from the remaining three league games to ensure next season’s Champions League qualification.
- The loss tightens pressure on Arsenal’s domestic position as Manchester City closes the gap to three points, underlining the dual challenge Arteta acknowledged of competing on both league and European fronts.
