Arsenal have scored the joint most goals in the Premier League, the fourth most in the Champions League, and top both tables.

I think the people trying to shit-talk them might just…not know ball at all.

chat, is that good?
Arsenal's only shot from outside the penalty area was into an open net

Arsenal have qualified for the next stage of the Champions League (at least play offs).

Fulltime. Arsenal 3-1 over Bayern Munich. A comprehensive win. The Gunners clearly the better of the two sides.

This team is really fucking good.

We have Gabriel, Kai Havertz, Viktor Gyokeres, and Gabriel Jesus unavailable for this match through injury.
3-1 up against Bayern so we bring White and Odegaard off the bench. We are different gravy

Will never get tired of seeomg opposing team supporters do that "defiant" cheering while their side is being roundly beaten on the pitch.
November 26, 2025 at 9:44 PM
Ben White replaces Jurrien Timber. Martin Ødegaard replaces Ebere Eze.

Would like to point out that Gabriel Martinelli was the player who mopped up the ball just outside the Arsenal box when they crowded Olise off it.

And then he TOOK OFF. Up the pitch like he'd been shot out of a cannon.

If you look up "perfect pass" in the dictionary, there's a highlight of that ball from Ebere Eze to Gabriel Martinelli.
November 26, 2025 at 9:39 PM
Manuel Neuer just learned that Gabriel Martinelli is much faster than he thinks.
November 26, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Gabriel Martinelli makes it 3-1!

He's scored in every Champions League appearance this season.
November 26, 2025 at 9:37 PM
Declan Rice is unreal.
November 26, 2025 at 9:34 PM
William Saliba booked for delaying a restart.
November 26, 2025 at 9:34 PM
Madueke! 2-1 Arsenal!

Fantastic run and cross from Calafiori.

HORRIBLE giveaway from Bayern straight to Declan Rice to start the move.
November 26, 2025 at 9:30 PM
Gabriel Martinelli is going to cause problems for Bayern, I think.
November 26, 2025 at 9:28 PM
Declan Rice has the armband.
November 26, 2025 at 9:28 PM
Riccardo Calafiori and Gabriel Martinelli readying to come on for Myles Lewis-Skelly and Bukayo Saka.

Noni Madueke to the right.
November 26, 2025 at 9:27 PM
That's not really a foul by Bukayo Saka. Laimer was off balance and fell over. Both players were tussling and grabbing with each other.
November 26, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Manuel Neuer is the only reason Bayern aren't behind by multiple goals.
November 26, 2025 at 9:24 PM
Declan Rice takes it himself and Neuer makes a tremendous save.
November 26, 2025 at 9:22 PM
Harry Kane throwing himself to the ground.

He's been a cheat his entire career. It's shameful, honestly. Unbefitting a player of his level.
November 26, 2025 at 9:21 PM
Mosquera wide open but Neuer gets an arm to it.

Not sure how much either player knew about that one, tbh.
November 26, 2025 at 9:20 PM
Upamecano is lucky to not get a second yellow card there.

Madueke might have been away but for the foul.

Kompany booked for protesting.
November 26, 2025 at 9:19 PM
Mikel Merino again from a corner but can't steer it into the net.

Ugh.
November 26, 2025 at 9:18 PM
Myles Lewis-Skelly is playing like a guy who isn't a left back and hasn't played much this season.
