Napoli
ArsenalI think the result was set before the match even kicked off. A traditional 0-1 to the Arsenal, a class Martin Ødegaard strike to get all 3 points for the Gunners. Professionalism is very much an understatement for how Mikel Arteta dealt with this game. Patience paid off in the end after Allegri allowing Arsenal to have the ball, hoping his low block wouldn't be exposed, but it ultimately was. The goalscorer was the man of the night, dictating play and putting in a proper captain's performance. Napoli had a good structure, but if you don't threaten at one end, you're going to suffer at the other. Hojlund getting barely any service for chances, then deciding to bring on a lackluster Lorenzo Lucca was very questionable from Massimiliano Allegri. I think the foundation of the performance was in the right direction overall, but the execution was once again not enough. A loss against the champions of England is no embarrassment though, they'll still be kicking themselves that it didn't go according to plan. MOTM as I mentioned, Martin Ødegaard. Back to back great performances, showing his worth as captain.

theo you’re a wordsmith
@sammy Thank you Sammy, I just write what comes to my head 😭❤️
@theolovesvilla natural talent
second half subs definitely changed the game. addition of bruno allowed ode to stop dropping as deep and push to those spaces that really allow him to be dangerous
@tligoat I agree, Odegaard is much better further forwards in the midfield, enabling him to get involved more
a lovely review theodopolous!
