What’s Hot and What’s Not from Arsenal’s Champions League campaign

HOT – Goals galore

Arsenal finished their group stage campaign with 18 games from their six matches – only Barcelona and Borussia Dortmund scored more in their respective group matches.

Wenger’s men put six past FC Basel, a side several English clubs have come unstuck against in the past, as well as nine past Bulgarian outfit Ludogorets, and three past French champions Paris Saint-Germain, who currently lead Barcelona 4-0 in their last 16 encounter.

Clearly, Arsenal enjoyed the freedom of playing in Europe earlier in the campaign, with the likes of Mesut Ozil and Theo Walcott bagging four goals each, and they even carried an attacking threat in both legs against Bayern.

Once again, it wasn’t scoring the goals that was the issue for Wenger’s men in the Champions League, it was keeping them out against the best sides.
