Arsenal are staring down the barrel of a difficult road to the 2025 Champions League final, featuring a few of the best clubs in the world.
The Gunners wrapped up their impressive Champions League league phase campaign with a 1–2 victory over Girona to finish third in the standings. Arsenal automatically advanced to the round of 16 while clubs like Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich had to compete in the knockout phase playoffs.
Along the way, though, Arsenal suffered a few devastating injuries that greatly depleted their attacking options. Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Takehiro Tomiyasu are out for the season, and Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli are dealing with hamstring injuries.
Still, the Gunners are closing the gap to Liverpool in the Premier League standings and gearing up for a hard path to Munich in the Champions League.
