Arsenal Seal Last-16 Berth as Inter Slip, Napoli Stall and City Stunned

A reshuffled league table leaves Inter outside the top eight, with Napoli facing a must‑win finale.

Overview

  • Arsenal won 3-1 at San Siro, with Gabriel Jesus scoring twice and Viktor Gyökeres adding a late third, sealing top spot and last‑16 qualification.
  • The defeat was Inter’s third straight in Europe, dropping them out of the direct‑qualification places and pointing to a playoff route that coach Cristian Chivu said the team is ready to accept.
  • Napoli drew 1-1 at Copenhagen despite an hour with a man advantage after Thomas Delaney’s red card, as Scott McTominay’s header was matched by Jordan Larsson’s penalty rebound; Conte’s side must beat Chelsea in Naples next week to secure a playoff spot.
  • Arsenal’s second goal came from a corner, marking their 19th strike from that routine this season and highlighting a decisive set‑piece strength.
  • Manchester City lost 3-1 at Bodø/Glimt after falling three goals behind and seeing Rodri sent off, a shock result that complicates the top‑eight picture.
