Arsenal missed their chance to go top last time around

Arsenal missed a chance to top their Group when they failed to beat PSG at the Emirates in their last fixture. And the disappointment of the 2-2 draw was palpable as disgruntled supporters left the stadium with a familiar sense of dread that has ailed the European campaign of the Gunners in the past few seasons.

Although it is conceivable that PSG may be outdone by Ludogorets, it seems more than unlikely especially for a side which has already conceded 13 goals in their 5 Group A fixtures. Finishing second in a Champions League group is not to be looked down upon but it does leave Arsenal open to another fixture against the heavyweights of the Champions League.

At the time, Arsene Wenger stated sagely, “At the moment we are second, but it’s not over. But if we do finish there, you can’t guess whether that’s good or bad. You have to wait for the draw.” Despite that Arsenal will look to win their fixture against Basel which will see the Xhaka brothers go up against each other.
