Arsenal played through their final league phase match of the Champions League, taking on Girona in search of qualification in the top eight. The Gunners, who had a few changes in the team, thought they took the lead as Riccardo Calafiori tucked home a neat move before being flagged for offside.

Arsenal can bank an additional £12million by beating Girona tonight in the Champions League. The Gunners are currently sat third in the League Phase standings and are all but guaranteed a spot in the top eight, which would secure them a place in the knockout stage and avoid next month’s play-off round.

Girona: Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said his side could handle any opposition after progressing directly to the Champions League last 16 with a 2-1 win at Girona on Wednesday. A much-rotated Gunners side defeated the Catalan outfit with goals from Jorginho and Ethan Nwaneri after falling behind to Arnaut Danjuma’s first-half strike.
