Two stadiums, four changing rooms, yet the atmospheres were totally different.
In the home changing room of the Etihad Stadium, the Arsenal players were relaxed as they listened to music and discussed excitedly about how they were going to celebrate this league title that they worked so hard for. Not even Wenger thought that Forest could create a miracle again, even though he just found out that Nottingham Forest was leading 1:0 at home.
Manchester City's performance in this game today did not surprise Wenger. There was indeed no need for Manchester City to work hard for this game. Nobody wanted to get injured in the last game of the season, after all. If they went all out knowing that their opponents were Arsenal who would do everything for the league title, it would naturally be difficult for them to avoid injuries. They might as well just show up for the game and then go for a vacation after that.
