Arsenal faced Atalanta in their first Champions League group-stage match, and it ended in a one-sided-game nil-nil draw. Another powerful defensive performance. Our highlight? Without a doubt, it was David Raya’s incredible penalty save that kept us in the game when it mattered most. The defensive stalwarts of Saliba and Gabriel Magalhães showed their strength, ensuring Atalanta couldn’t cause us damage.
On the flip side, Gabriel Jesus had an off day, struggling to make a mark in the attacking phase - he wasn't alone. As much as we missed Ødegaard’s creative spark, our defensive solidity was something to be proud of.
Tune in to the latest episode of Colney Talk byte-size breakdown of the game, a look at individual performances, and what we need to do next as we push on for the weekend. Up the Arsenal!
