Arsenal began their Champions League campaign with a 1-0 away win against Napoli, thanks to a 75th-minute goal from captain Martin Odegaard. The playmaker's angled shot, driven in off the post, secured the victory and continued Arsenal's perfect start to the season, maintaining their 100 per cent record.
The match saw Arsenal spurn numerous chances, but Odegaard's decisive strike proved to be the difference. The result has sharpened discussions around Arsenal's potential to become European champions, following their recent Premier League title.
Manager Mikel Arteta reportedly rested almost half of his first-choice outfield players for the game, with Bukayo Saka starting despite Noni Madueke being anticipated to play. Jurrien Timber is expected to return this weekend, while Bruno Guimaraes' ankle injury persists for Declan Rice.
