Complete Champions League draw: Arsenal will play PSG and Inter in the league stage when the new structure is introduced

According to Daily Mail expert Chris Sutton, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta is likely to face a challenging situation with the new fixture format. Sutton explains: “This new format means more matches, which puts Arteta in a difficult position. Arsenal are eager to win the Premier League after narrowly missing out in the last two seasons. The question is whether Arteta will prioritize domestic success over the Champions League. The key will be qualifying for the knockout stages as early as possible. While this draw is favorable for the Gunners, the real test will be knowing the order of their fixtures against their opponents. PSG and Inter Milan will be significant challenges, and remember, Atalanta are the reigning Europa League champions.”

Sutton adds that Arteta will certainly want to avoid ending up in a playoff situation with additional matches and pressure. “They need to advance from the group stage early to focus on the Premier League.”

Meanwhile, Arsenal fans are feeling optimistic. One fan commented: “I think we’ll win all these matches easily.”

Another wrote: “This is a pretty good draw.”

A third fan exclaimed: “It’s too easy.”

A fourth even stated: “We need to finish in the top 8 and qualify directly for the last 16.”

Another added: “We’ll top the group standings.”
