I think a lot of people (including me) placed a lot of emphasis on these teams' respective history in this competition.Not really that unexpected. Madrid have looked bang average in an awful lot of games this season. Lost to worse teams than Arsenal.
That stuff generally matters a lot, but tonight Arsenal have played the team and not the reputation or myth. Good on them.
A lot of teams see 'Real Madrid' and are terrified. Not Arsenal.
