It can be recalled that last year's April saw Arsenal humbling Real Madrid, who happen to be the best team in UEFA Champions League history.
Arsenal have done it again, but this time around it's not Real Madrid but Atlético Madrid who happens to thrash Real Madrid this season in La Liga.
Atletico Madrid, known for its masterclass, stubbornness, and streetwise play in European football, is the team you can never blow away at ease, but yet Arsenal have done it, delivering a knockout punch in a cold, ruthless, and harsh way to Diego Simeone's side.
Arsenal was possibly able to take on Atletico Madrid because of its great defence line, which sounded strong to a team that scored five goals against Real Madrid. David Raya had only one save in his last three games, all thanks to his defence.
It was a very important night for Viktor Gyökeres, who was on a goal drought for the period of 9 games and was in a happy mood as he was able to put an end to his goal drought.
The centre forward was able to deliver two masterclass goals in a major Champions League match against Atletico Madrid, which silenced some critics. Viktor Gyökeres had a fantastic performance beyond the goals he scored.
With Arsenal as the current leaders of the English Premier League and also at the top of the UEFA Champions League, it shows that Arsenal are part of the race to secure the trophy, as they are often called title contenders in the last two seasons.
The team is at its historical defence and constant attack through its set-piece method and renewed confidence in their strikers. Arsenal have left a question on the lips of sports analysts, commentators and fans: who can stop them, and how close can their rivals actually get?
