A record-breaking, damaging, and absolutely bonkers night in Madrid.
Tottenham have now lost SIX consecutive matches in all competitions for the first time in their history.
Gabriel Jesus has scored 17 goals in his last 22 Champions League starts. He’s scored six goals in eight starts for the Gunners.

Noni Madueke has scored three goals in four appearances for Arsenal in the Champions League.
#LEVARS
Kai Havertz has scored four goals and assisted two more in his last five Champions League appearances. He’s facing his former club, for whom he made eight appearances in the competition between 2016 and 2019.
#LEVARS
Only one team has prevented Arsenal from scoring in their last 18 Champions League matches.

No - quite a few cup ties but all in seasons where Saints were in the top flight.
There is a world where Arsenal will play Man City in the League Cup final, the FA Cup final, the Champions League final and duke it out in the Premier League as the top two. Finishing runners up in all four would enshrine the "Second Again Ole Ole" chant for ever.
Arsenal's record at St Mary's is pretty mixed.

Arsenal's accounts for 2024-25 were published last week and I was fascinated to see that gate receipts now account for just 22.3% of turnover. The table below shows how reliant the club has been on gate receipts since WW1.
Viktor Gyökeres has scored 10 goals in 14 Champions League games and has also contributed two assists.

Bukayo Saka has 20 goal involvements in 24 Champions League appearances (12 goals 8 assists).

Gabriel Martinelli has scored in six of his last seven Champions League matches.

Arsenal have won their last eight Champions League games in a row - their longest run of victories in the competition.

Arsenal have only met Bayer Leverkusen once in European competition, drawing 1-1 in Germany and winning 4-1 at Highbury in the 2nd Group Stage of the 2001-02 Champions League. Despite this, the Gunners went out and the Germans won the group and went on to make the final against Real Madrid.
Viktor Gyokeres' 90th-minute goal to seal the 4-1 win over Tottenham was the Gunners' 1000th away goal in the Premier League.
Eberechi Eze's strike was the 19th goal scored by a substitute for Arsenal this season.
Eberechi Eze has scored four and assisted three more goals in his last six FA Cup appearances.
With Max Dowman & Marli Salmon in the line up, Arsenal are the first ever Premier League side to start a game with two players aged 16 or under in any competition.
Arsenal themselves have done it twice v Chelsea in 2017-18 and v West Ham in 1997-98.
Well, it doesn't make sense to do it by month, but more by number of games. They had netted 103 by game 46 (by April) in 2016-17. But they had also netted 103 by game 46 (by March) in 2010-11 & 2009-10, so either way it's not the most since the 20s.
They're a client so it would have gone to them directly.
