Yahoo Sports Arsenal Boast Formidable Recent Record Vs Italian Clubs Ahead Of Inter Milan Clash
Stadio Giuseppe Meazza is the venue as Inter Milan and Arsenal go head-to-head in a titanic UEFA Champions League showdown.
According to FCInterNews, the reigning Scudetto holders cannot afford to let their high-flying run carry them away, considering the Gunners’ relentless form against Serie A clubs.
It’s been over two decades since Inter and Arsenal last faced off against each other on the grandest continental stage.
They exchanged tackles in the Emirates Cup in 2007, with the North London outfit running out victorious.
However, the last time they shared the stage in competitive action was in the 2003/04 Champions League group phase.
Interestingly, both teams won their away matches that year via multiple-goal margins.
Indeed, Inter triumphed 3-0 in England, while Arsenal repaid the courtesy with a 5-1 victory at Meazza.
Fast forward 21 years, and the two European colossi are about to renew hostilities.
Arsenal Boast Formidable Recent Record vs Italian Clubs Ahead of Inter Milan Clash
As if the only previous duel at Meazza doesn’t look ominous enough, Inter must pay attention to Arsenal’s recent record against Serie A teams.
Mikel Arteta’s men have reigned supreme against Italian opposition, racking up an eye-catching six wins in the last 11 matches.
However, Atalanta knocked the Gunners down from a four-match winning streak against Serie A sides on matchday one.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men could’ve taken all three points.
Unfortunately, Mateo Retegui failed to convert a penalty, resulting in a scoreless draw in Bergamo.
That result marked Arsenal’s third successive unbeaten away encounter against Italian clubs.
Indeed, they had won on back-to-back visits to the country before slipping at the Gewiss stadium.
Other teams may be intimidated by this superb record, but not Inter.
Simone Inzaghi has overseen a rich vein of form in the build-up to this clash.
Inter have won seven of their last eight outings, barring a 4-4 draw against fiercest rivals Juventus.
