Arsenal Defeat Olympiacos 2-0 to Extend Champions League Group Stage Unbeaten Run

Arsenal secured a 2–0 victory over Olympiacos at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, October 1, 2025, during their second UEFA Champions League group stage match.

Gabriel Martinelli opened the scoring in the 12th minute after a counter-attack set up by Viktor Gyökeres. Despite Olympiacos’ resilient efforts, Arsenal sealed the win in stoppage time with a goal from Bukayo Saka, assisted by Martin Ødegaard.

The victory extends Arsenal’s unbeaten run in the Champions League group stage to 13 matches, dating back to 2015, and ends a long-standing home hoodoo against Olympiacos, who had previously beaten Arsenal at the Emirates in 2015 and knocked them out of the Europa League in 2020.

This win also places Arsenal among six teams with perfect records in the current group stage, following their 2–0 triumph over Athletic Bilbao in their opening fixture. However, the match saw key defender Gabriel sustain an injury, raising concerns ahead of upcoming fixtures.
