Arsenal delivered a stunning performance in the Champions League, securing a historic 7-1 victory over PSV Eindhoven on Tuesday. The Gunners became the first team in the competition’s history to score seven goals in an away knockout match, marking their biggest win since a 7-3 triumph over Newcastle 13 years ago.
Mikel Arteta’s side, which had struggled to score in recent Premier League games, showcased their attacking prowess with goals from six different players, including a brace from captain Martin Odegaard.
The win not only highlighted Arsenal’s depth but also their ability to dominate under pressure.
Arteta praised his team’s performance, emphasizing the importance of the result for their confidence and progression to the next round. “We’re in a strong position, but there’s still work to do,” he said.
The victory also shone a light on Arsenal’s young talents, with 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri becoming one of the youngest scorers in Champions League knockout history.
His emergence, alongside fellow academy graduate Myles Lewis-Skelly, underscores the club’s commitment to nurturing future stars.
With this record-breaking win, Arsenal have sent a clear message to their rivals: they are serious contenders in this season’s Champions League.
