It's a match to forget! Inter lost their home game at the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, during the UEFA Champions League, League Phase, Matchday 7.

Stats BEFORE the game

Inter and Arsenal are set to clash for the fourth time in the UEFA Champions League; the Nerazzurri have emerged victorious in two of the three prior meetings (with one draw), including a group stage match in last season's tournament where they won 1-0 in November 2024.

Arsenal's most recent away victory against an Italian side in the UEFA Champions League was in March 2008 (2-0 against AC Milan). Since that time, the Gunners have struggled, failing to secure a win in their next five away games (with one draw and four losses), and they have not managed to score a single goal.

Inter has faced defeat in two of their last three home games against English clubs (both losses to Liverpool, in 2022 and 2025), matching the number of defeats they experienced in their previous ten home encounters against these teams in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League (which included five wins, three draws, and two losses).

If they triumph, Arsenal will achieve their longest winning streak in the European Cup/UEFA Champions League history (seven consecutive victories). The Gunners have claimed victory in their last six matches, boasting an impressive total score of 17-1, while keeping a clean sheet in five of those games.

Inter started strong this season, winning their first four UEFA Champions League matches, but they have since lost their last two (to Atletico Madrid and Liverpool). The last time the Nerazzurri faced three consecutive defeats in this competition was between April and September 2011, during which Christian Chivu was still part of the team.
