Summary

Arsenal secured a 1-0 win over Napoli on Wednesday night in the Champions League. Captain Martin Odegaard scored the lone goal for the visitors, who dominated play throughout the match. Arsenal registered 26 shots, setting a club record for an away game in the competition since the 2003/04 season. The team also accumulated 3.81 open-play expected goals, the highest figure recorded by an away side in the Champions League since the start of the 2021/22 campaign.
