"This is the semi-final. If we win the opponent, we can enter the final!" Wenger encouraged the players in the locker room when the second round came to White Hart Lane.

In this game, he decided to send most of the main force to win this championship!

Especially Reyes, even when he runs without the ball, there is a Tottenham defender following him every step of the way, Fabregas is injured, Torres is gone, Henry is not in good form, Arsenal seems to be the only threat left Reyes was alone.

After a while, Reyes' jersey was covered with cyan grass clippings.
