Stats before the game
Inter and Arsenal faced each other only once in the 2003-04 UEFA Champions League, with the away team triumphing in both encounters (Arsenal 0-3 Inter, Inter 1-5 Arsenal). Arsenal has struggled to find the back of the net in their last four UEFA Champions League away matches in Italy, recording one draw and three losses. The last time a Gunners player scored against an Italian team on their turf in this competition was Emmanuel Adebayor, who netted in a 2-0 victory over Milan at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza in March 2008.
Inter has allowed 53 shots in this UEFA Champions League campaign, ranking them among the five teams with the most conceded shots. However, they have successfully kept a clean sheet in their last three matches, a feat they have yet to achieve four times in a row in this elite competition.
The Nerazzurri also field the oldest average starting XI this season, at 30 years and 139 days old, and have had players over 30 on the pitch for a total of 1,482 minutes. Meanwhile, Arsenal has conceded only five shots on target, with only Atalanta allowing fewer (four). The Gunners have managed three clean sheets, with their last streak of four consecutive clean sheets dating back to November 2007. Interestingly, all of Arsenal’s goals in this UEFA Champions League season have come in the first half, as they have only attempted nine shots in the second half, which is fewer than Sparta Prague’s eight.
Player Stats
If Gabriel Jesus takes the field against Inter, he will mark his place as the 43rd Brazilian to reach 50 appearances in the UEFA Champions League. The last Brazilian to net a goal in his 50th match was Lucas Moura, who scored a hat-trick for Tottenham against Ajax in May 2019. However, Jesus has struggled recently, failing to score in his last seven outings for Arsenal after starting strong with goals in his first four matches.
Inter’s goalkeeper, Yann Sommer, has achieved an impressive record by maintaining seven clean sheets in just 10 UEFA Champions League matches. His 70% clean sheet rate stands out as the highest among goalkeepers with over 10 appearances for a single club in the tournament.
Gabriel Martinelli has generated five opportunities after dribbling over 5 meters with the ball in this UCL, leading all players during the tournament’s first three matchdays. Meanwhile, Mehdi Taremi from Inter and Kai Havertz from Arsenal have both made the most high-pressure plays, each with 211. Notably, in the final third, Havertz stands out as the top performer in this category, with an impressive 92.
