‌Jesus was first to react to a scuffed shot from Jurrien Timber to set Arsenal on their way early on. Inter ramped up the pressure in the second-half as they sought to draw themselves level for a second time, but couldn't breach an Arsenal goal that has only conceded twice in this season's Champions League. They dominated for long periods, all whilst leaving the likes of Gabriel and Declan Rice on the bench, further proving they have a squad capable of winning the Champions League. They are top of Serie A as things stand, but reaching a third Champions League final in four years looks an immensely tall order. ‌This new era of Champions League football is still relatively new, two years in fact, but Arsenal could enjoy the pleasure of becoming the first team in history to go eight from eight.
