Two classic Champions League semi finals and it really is the competition which ALWAYS produces the goods. Arsenal gave it a good go early and on another day might have scored twice before trailing, but were never going to be able to press at that level for 90+ minutes and the only offensive option they introduced from the bench in a game they were trailing was Leandro Trossard.

You got a look at yesterday's stats for the three Serie A games from Italy (see previous post) and in order to look at the "bigger picture" you can see the full Tuesday notes in full below, Bologna and Genoa drew 2-2 , Atalanta won 2-1, Inter 3-1 and whilst it is not all about results, we did have winners at odds of circa 4.50 and 3.0 and were close to a third at 2.88 with Fiorentina scoring first and having good chances for a second goal.
