Inter Milan vs Arsenal: Gunners Succumb to Hak Attack in UCL Loss
Arsenal’s struggles on the road continued as they fell 1-0 to Inter Milan at San Siro, with Hakan Çalhanoğlu’s penalty securing victory for the hosts. This defeat leaves Arsenal with only one win in their last six away matches across all competitions and ends their unbeaten start in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group phase. Meanwhile, Inter extended their impressive unbeaten run to nine matches.
First-Half Pressure and a Crucial Breakthrough
Inter came out strong, almost opening the scoring within two minutes when Denzel Dumfries’ outside-of-the-boot shot rattled the crossbar. Hakan Çalhanoğlu then narrowly missed from distance, as Inter’s early dominance kept Arsenal on the back foot. Arsenal began to find their rhythm midway through the first half, with Bukayo Saka testing Inter’s Yann Sommer. But just before halftime, a handball from Mikel Merino gave Inter a penalty, which Çalhanoğlu confidently converted for his 19th straight spot-kick, handing Inter a 1-0 lead at the break.
Arsenal’s Fight for an Equaliser Falls Short
The Gunners came out determined in the second half, with Gabriel Martinelli’s strike hitting the side-netting, and Saka’s corner nearly leading to a goal before Dumfries cleared off the line. Kai Havertz came close to leveling with a powerful shot aimed at the top corner, only to be denied by a fantastic Sommer save. Despite Inter’s substitutions injecting fresh energy into their lineup, Arsenal continued to apply pressure, with Havertz’s later attempt being heroically blocked by Inter’s Yann Bisseck.
However, Arsenal’s efforts fell short as they struggled to create clear opportunities in front of goal, allowing Inter to hold onto their fourth consecutive UCL clean sheet and preserve their unbeaten group stage run. Arsenal, on the other hand, have yet to score in their last five UCL matches on Italian soil, a streak that continues after tonight’s narrow defeat.
