PSV was finally eliminated on Wednesday evening in the Champions League. After the 7-1 defeat in the first game of the diptych against Arsenal, the team of coach Peter Bosz was looking for reparation. With a deserving draw (2-2) in London, the Eindhoven club leaves the millions of ball with his head held high.
Anyone who had watched the branch at Arsenal – PSV for 90 minutes on Wednesday evening will have thought that the Eindhoven club was on its way to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. 3000 crazy PSV supporters were jumping throughout the game and especially supporting their team. The rest of the Emirates Stadium, which was not sold out, looked silently at the branch.
Whereas in the stands the battle was clearly won by the fans, the battle on the field was decided last week in favor of the English. After the 7-1 defeat in Eindhoven, the game was one that was no longer busy.

De Jong gets a rest
Yet the thoughts of the 3000 supporters will have returned to last week. Because after five minutes it was already hit for Arsenal. Former PSV player Oleksandr Zinchenko gave the home team sixteen on the lead from edge.
Yet PSV showed resilience. Ivan Perisic made it right in a very clever way. He was the occasional striker, because Luuk de Jong got peace with a view to the competition. De Jong came in twenty minutes before time. At that time, the score was already 2-1, because Declan Rice has before half time The Gunners Had headed again.
Honest recovery for PSV
After the break, both teams seemed fine. The position over two games was 9-2 and it was never exciting in two times 90 minutes. The most beautiful goal still had to be made. Because Couhaib Driouech made the 2-2 twenty minutes before time with a beautiful lob over the goalkeeper. In the final phase, the branch shouted cynically ‘everything or nothing’, but it remained at 2-2.
A bit of reparation for PSV that did not get a good beating again. It fills a little more trust again. After a horror week in which everything went wrong, after the victory over Heerenveen and the draw against Arsenal the color is back on the cheeks. RKC is waiting in Waalwijk on Saturday.
