We know the first direct qualifier for the knockout stages of the Champions League. Winner on the pitch of Inter Milan, Arsenal continued their flawless performance and won their seventh victory in a row on the European scene, a first in their history. With 21 points, the Gunners are assured of finishing in the top 2 of the league phase. Only Bayern Munich can still hope to tickle them.
However, Londoners have their destiny in their hands. And they will finish this first phase of the competition against the modest club Kairat Almaty. One point will be enough to obtain first place in the final. In any case, the place in the top 2 allows them to be assured of receiving the return match until the semi-finals.
This Tuesday evening against Inter Milan, Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring after a great start (10th). Susic, with a firecracker lit at the edge of the area, equalized (18th), but Jesus with a header from a corner (31st) then Gyökeres with a clear shot from 20m (87th) offered the Londoners, sovereigns, their seventh victory in seven games.
Semi-finalists last year against Paris Saint-Germain, the Gunners are one of the big favorites for this edition. Also brilliant in the Premier League, with a first place and seven points ahead of Manchester City and Aston Villa, William Saliba’s teammates are perhaps at the dawn of a historic season.
