Arsenal ended the Champions League phase with a 2-1 winning stage with a 2-1 victory over Girona already eliminated from the competition before the match started.
Former Tottenham Hotspur Loan Arnaut Danoma released Girona in the middle of the first half, the first goal for the Arsenal Open Player in Europe this season was incredible.
But Jorginho equalized from the criminal place, while the first Ethan Nwaneri Champions League The goal firmly put the artillery in front of the whistle at halftime.
Raheem Sterling also missed the penalty at a time of stopping that would be a glaze on the cake.
How the game took place
The rifles had two early sights of naked in northern Catalonia. Leandro Trossard may have expected to get better when he entered the box with the body in the box Ethan Nwneri, while Riccardo Calafiori soon had a ball in the network with a slight offset.
Dannah looked threatening on the left side of Girona, but the net was not tested, and Arsenal would be pleased with their level of control and relative comfort, a quarter of the time through the competition. So, when the hosts took the lead, it was completely drawn.
Arsenal opened with one passage to the left channel from Central Beck Juanpe. She ran to him on Danjama and, seeing a net 30 meters from the goal, twisted a shot around the stranded Brazil, who still dived even though he would result in a red card.
Gunners responded well and completely turned the game until the end of the first half. Thomas Party’s Bulldozing in the box was responsible for drawing Arsenal levels, struggling with it through the fighting and ending Arna Martinez. Jorginho kept calm in the middle of Heckles from home fans and shot in the lower right corner.
A few moments later, Nwnerri’s stroke hit the next level, not showing fear as he cut inside to the right and fired an unstoppable hit left leg outside Paja Lopez. There was still time for Trossard to hit a bar from a narrow corner just before the interval.
Arsenal remained on top. Jurrien Timber’s replacement at halftime has inadvertently stopped the angle of Nwaner from a direct nest in the lower corner in her own attempts to turn the ball. Calafiorori Lopez flew over a naked one hour, chasing a shot that missed closely.
Girona has made five changes, all in the first 25 minutes of the second half, in an attempt to transfer things and to answer Arsenal to answer different questions. Mikel Arthte also took advantage of his bench, handing over another opportunity to Myles Lewis-Skelly and throwing Kai Havertz.
Just as the game looked like she was coming out, the hosts had a potential equator of the replacement and club legend Cristhian Stanani, who excluded Var for offsid. He also saved the net comfortably from Martinez’s close range, which lacked electricity, late.
Sterling had the opportunity to make further sure of the victory after his death, the welcome winning of the penalty kick after Alejandro Frances faded his hand unwittingly on the loose ball as she appeared. The wing on the sequel intensified, but he saw Lopez pairing the resulting video around the corner.

With the first eight endings effectively secured before the start, it was clear that the selection of Mikel Arteta team was more than a little motivated on Sunday Premier league Conflict with Manchester City at Emirates Stadium.
William Saliba, Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Martinelli and Jurrien Timber started on the bench. David Raya traveled from the team to Spain, but the manager declared him “he did not answer” and did not make a choice. Instead, the veteran with the loan was given to the debut.
Depending on Ray’s availability, it would be expected that all six would return over the weekend, when Arsenal would look for a victory to keep as much pressure as possible Liverpool as possible and put nine points between himself and the city.
Last summer, he joined the borrowing from Bournemouth to cover Aaron Ramsdale’s output and had to wait until his debut because he had a Carabao Cup in the Cup.
In 35 years and 194 days, the Brazilian was the oldest debutant of Arsenal in 110 years about 36-year-old Ned Liddella 1915. But it was not an opportunity to look back with love. He had a nervous moment on the ball almost straight from the initial beginning, and later had a moment of madness when he was caught in a land without a shortage 30 meters from a goal while Girona took the lead.
Since Raya is excluded due to injury in this, it would not be good for important games to come if it was more than just caution.
One player at the opposite end of his career trip was completely unpleasant, which was Ethan Nwaneri. The 17-year-old capsulates the old cliché “If you are good enough, you are old enough” and works great to make Bukayo Saka’s absence so hard.
Nwaneri is a player who is full of confidence, and his excellent Champions League goal, shortly before halftime, at his first start in the competition, was proof of it. Jude Bellingham is the only Englishman who at his younger age scored the Champions League goal – only 25 days.
As much as Nwaneri impressed wide and Leandro Trossard has a positive impact, the Arsenal has lacked the presence in the criminal area to truly make the most of its top quality.
Trossard is not a natural ‘number nine’, nor is the usual starter Kai Havertz. Gabriel Jesus sometimes made a decent impression of the front center, but the Brazilian is inconsistent and is now excluded in the foreseeable future with a serious knee injury.
Arsenal need attacker. It’s a piece of a missing puzzle for years.
News appeared just before this Arsenal was rejected by an offer for Aston Villa Front-Man Ollie Watkins. It should take a lot to land an English internationary before the transfer deadline on Monday, while other rumors like Dusan Vlahovic or Benjamin Susk could be significantly reached in the summer.
In the time of PSR, Arsenal cannot panic and go wrong. But it seems like he will never achieve his full potential until the team is complemented by the appropriate goalie.
The rotation in the arsenal lines provided Raheem Sterling a rare start. The thirty -year -old wing player has only found a net against Bolton Wanderer at Carabao Cup in September this season.
It’s been five years since his season 31 goals for Manchester City, and it seems that the player is just moving on. Despite the victory in the late sentence that was unable to convert, Sterling was the least effective from Arsenal’s initial strikers in this and was warned of simulation, though sharply, to rub more salt into that wound.
Waiting to become the first player to achieve three English clubs in the Champions League.
