Arsenal significantly improved their prospects of securing a top-eight finish in the Champions League with an impressive 3-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday night.
The Gunners came out strong, quickly taking the lead within just two minutes as Declan Rice volleyed in a well-placed pass from Kai Havertz. Despite dominating possession and chances, the first half of the Champions League game ended without any additional goals.
Continuing their momentum after the break, Mikel Arteta’s side extended their lead with goals from Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard, securing a convincing win that propelled Arsenal into third place in their group.
On the other hand, their Premier League rivals, Manchester City, faced a challenging situation as they suffered a 4-2 defeat to Paris Saint-Germain. City initially established a two-goal lead at Parc des Princes through Jack Grealish and Erling Haaland. However, PSG responded with resilience, scoring four unanswered goals from Ousmane Dembele, Bradley Barcola, Joao Neves, and Goncalo Ramos, ultimately claiming all three points.
As a result, Pep Guardiola’s men now find themselves in 25th position, as Luis Enrique’s PSG has overtaken them in the standings.
