    Arsenal have been given a 38% chance of reaching the Champions League semi-finals, according to the Euro Club Index, external from world football data experts Nielsen's Gracenote.

    Mikel Arteta's side were held to a 2-2 draw by Bayern Munich in the first leg of their quarter-final tie at Emirates Stadium.

    However, the Bundesliga side, with a 66% chance, are firm favourites to go through to the last four of the competition.

    The data from Nielsen's Gracenote also suggests the Gunners have just a 6% chance of winning the European Cup outright.

    The Gunners have had an excellent season so far, but after the loss to Aston Villa at the weekend, it could be argued that the game against Bayern Munich leaves Arsenal’s season on the line.

  11. Bellingham's anti-racism messagepublished at 17:49 16 April

    As Carlo Ancelotti said, it is easy to forget Jude Bellingham is only 20.

    He handles questions with a maturity way beyond his years, talking about his move to Madrid, his switch of positions, his manager and, most notably, racism.

    It is sad that he thinks the authorities are not doing enough to combat the problem and his fears nothing will change in that regard.

    Bellingham has a powerful voice that he clearly feels comfortable using, although he, like most of us, presumably wishes it wasn't necessary.

    "That has definitely affected my rhythm, at the start of the season I was playing every game, now there are things I have to tweak, there are things I don't mind doing. I am happy to take criticism on the chin, it is how you respond."
