Arsenal is still on the hunt for their first Champions League victory as they prepare to take on Europa League champions Atalanta in their first European clash of the 2024/25 season.
Following their 1-0 away win against Tottenham Hotspur in the north London derby, Arsenal enters Thursday’s match in Bergamo with momentum, sitting in second place in the Premier League just two points behind current champions Manchester City.
Having reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last season only to be eliminated by Bayern Munich, Arsenal aims to surpass their previous performance in this expanded competition.
