Three data constitute a fact, the fact is that in the Champions League, Inter has a hard time doing great with great. So Arsenal was the third consecutive defeat in this tournament, a negative performance that takes the black and blues out of the safety zone one round before the end of the League phase.

At “San Siro”, a beautiful match took place, with goals and chances to score, where after only 10 minutes, Gabriel Jesus followed a move well inside the area and with a slight deflection sent the ball into the net. Inter responded quickly where eight minutes later, Sucic with a real projectile scored a super goal bringing celebration to the stadium. The “Gunners” took advantage of a lethargy of the black and blues where during the developments of a corner kick, Gabriel Jesus hit Inter once again in the heart of the defense, returning Arsenal to the advantage.

In the second half, Chivu intervened in the formation by bringing Pio Esposito on the field, with the "azzurri" striker trying to change the course of this match, but Arsenal caught the "mat" in the 84th minute where Gyokeres finished off a quick counterattack with great class, making the score 3-1. After the 7th round, Arsenal remains perfect in the Champions League with 7 wins in 7 matches, 21 full points, 20 goals scored and only 2 conceded.

"Inter is not enough. Arsenal scores 3, in the 1/8 it will be difficult", writes La Gazzetta dello Sport on the front page.

Inter coach Chivu accepts what the pitch gave: "They were stronger, in speed, in intensity, in everything. If against Liverpool and Atletico we could have deserved something more, not this time, it was impossible", said Chivu. As a true gentleman, Arteta initially complimented Inter on their way of playing, enjoying this great victory, but refused to talk about objectives, in his eyes it is still too early to have such a discussion, whether they will make it to the end of this edition in the Champions League.
