Arsenal set the tone early, controlling possession and dictating the pace of play. Their persistence paid off in the 32nd minute when Bukayo Saka confidently scored from the penalty spot after Gabriel Magalhães’ header was blocked by a handball.

Just after halftime, Mikel Merino — operating as a makeshift striker — doubled Arsenal’s advantage with a calm finish. The Spaniard completed his brace in the 68th minute, heading home to make it 3-0 and secure all three points in style.

Arteta’s Tactical Brilliance

Mikel Arteta’s tactical setup once again proved decisive. With Viktor Gyökeres sidelined, Merino’s adaptability gave Arsenal a fresh dimension up front. Rice, Norgaard, and Eze controlled the tempo in midfield, while Gabriel and Saliba led the defense that completely neutralized Slavia Prague’s attack.

Arsenal finished with 60% possession and didn’t allow a single shot on target, underscoring their growing maturity on the European stage.

The night also marked a milestone for Max Dowman, who became the youngest player ever to feature in the Champions League when he replaced Saka late in the match. His debut added a special touch to a night filled with milestones for Arteta’s high-flying squad.
