Arsenal's Confident Victory Over Monaco in the UCL

"Arsenal" claimed a 3-0 victory over "Monaco", securing third place in the overall Champions League table.

In the sixth round of the main Champions League stage, "Arsenal" hosted "Monaco" at their stadium. Arsène Wenger watched with keen interest as both of these teams had left a significant mark on his managerial career.

In just the fourth minute of the match, Odegaard expertly found Jesus in the penalty area, but the Brazilian struck so weakly that there was no real chance of a goal. Realizing the oversight, Odegaard attempted a shot himself, but missed, failing to hit the top corner.

In the middle of the first half, Jesus squandered two one-on-one opportunities against the guest goalkeeper Maeczk. By the 34th minute, the Brazilian had changed tactics and accurately passed to the far post, which Saka skillfully converted, opening the score.

Five minutes later, Odegaard had the opportunity to double "Arsenal"'s lead but shot wide of the goal in a one-on-one situation. The beginning of the second half was dominated by the visitors. "Monaco"'s captain Kehrer had a chance to equalize, but his header didn't hit the target. Minamino and Embolo were also close to success, but their shots didn't yield results.

Realizing the need to alter the game's course, "Arsenal" eventually added a second goal. Saka scored a brace following a terrible defensive error from "Monaco". Kehrer, Salisu, and Maeczk created a moment of despair for their side and a golden opportunity for "Arsenal"'s leader. At the 88th minute, Saka could have sealed a hat-trick, but Havertz intervened, and it was the right action. The ball ended up in the net.

The match concluded with a confident 3-0 victory for "Arsenal", allowing the team to claim third place in the Champions League standings. 2024-25, UCL "Arsenal" - "Monaco" 3:0 (1:0)Goals: "Saka" B., 34 (1:0); "Saka" B., 78 (2:0); "Havertz", 88 (3:0)
