Arsenal advances Champions League last 16 after Nwaneri's goal

Arsenal secured a 2-1 comeback victory against Girona in their final Champions League group stage match, finishing third in their league phase. Despite an early goal conceded due to a blunder by debutant goalkeeper Neto, Jorginho equalized from the penalty spot before 17-year-old Ethan Nwaneri scored to clinch the win. This marked Arsenal's sixth victory in eight European matches, boosting their confidence ahead of a crucial Premier League clash against Manchester City. Manager Mikel Arteta expressed satisfaction with Nwaneri's performance, highlighting his readiness to step up in the absence of injured key players. Raheem Sterling's late penalty miss contrasted with Nwaneri's brilliance but did not overshadow the team's overall success. Arsenal will now face one of AC Milan, Feyenoord, Juventus, or PSV Eindhoven in the knockout phase of the Champions League.
