It was Groundhog Day for Arsenal in Germany against Borussia Dortmund.
Losing 2-0 to one of Europe's strongest teams away from home is, on the face of it, no cause for a serious inquest. But just when Arsene Wenger sweet-talks us into believing Arsenal is ready to challenge Europe's elite, there was ample proof yet again that the Gunners are pretenders, not contenders.
Wenger can talk a better game than his team plays. Jurgen Klopp's impressive Dortmund were embarrassingly better than Arsenal, despite the relatively small margin of victory. Borussia was everything Arsenal fans wanted their own team to be, not least the coach.
