Actually, the Gunners played quite well in the Champions League. Unfortunately, when they played Lens on the second matchday of the group phase, it did not meet the expectations of the Gunners fans. In that match, Saka suffered an injury in the 34th minute, which ultimately led to Arteta having to make a substitution. unfortunately, he instead replaced him with Fabio Viera. but before that, Arsenal took the lead in the 14th minute. As for the goal scored by Lens in the 25th minute, it was purely the fault of goalkeeper David Raya who made the wrong long pass which was blocked by the Lens players and put to good use to equalize the goal.

Too busy attacking, Lens was able to take advantage of it to increase their advantage. Unfortunately, Arsenal's defenders didn't guard tightly and gave Elye Wahi free space. and finally, Lens was able to turn things around. Instead of equalizing, Arteta replaced his players more. remember, they have a crucial match against City in the Premier League. in the end, Arsenal lost to Lens. even though based on tactics and statistics, Arsenal is much better than Lens. In fact, they tend to control the game with 67% ball possession, 6 shots on target, 2 big opportunities.
After the defeat to Lens, Arsenal looked confident at home to Manchester City and they deserved their victory. Furthermore, in the second leg meeting against Lens at the Emirates Stadium, the Gunners will not give Lens the opportunity to act like they did in the match at their headquarters. But before that match, Arsenal must beat Sevilla first, both home and away. and the Gunners, have a chance for that.
