The London club won its first victory in the main round of the main European Cup tournament this season.
Arsenal won the new Champions League format for the first time. We remind you that on the first day of the game the Gunners played a goalless draw against Atalanta.
This time the opponent of Arteta’s men was PSG, who looked stronger on paper. The Londoners won a landslide victory at home 2:0.
Both goals were scored in the first half. First, Gavertz scored a goal, and then Saka converted his chance.
In the next round, the Londoners will play against Shakhtar, and PSG will play against PSV. The matches will take place after the break for the national team match, on October 22.
