Arsenal 0-0 Monaco
29. The TNT duo of Fletcher and McCoist on commentary suggest that Monaco may be better going forward than when it comes to defending – words, you feel, they may yet come to regret.

27. Jesus is in again! He’s denied again!
It’s great football all around, first from Jesus, who takes a beautiful first touch to take himself away from his nearest defender and create space to exploit.
Not to be beaten, however, Monaco captain Kehrer races back and gets an important touch on the striker’s shot, and that’s enough to help Majecki make another fine save down low at the near post.

25. Jesus through on goal! He must score! Brilliant save by Majecki!
The Gunners go route one and a long raking pass from Lewis-Skelly sends his striker one-on-one with the goalkeeper.
As Jesus chests down, Monaco stopper Majecki retreats to his goalline, but comes up trumps a split-second later by sticking out a long leg to brilliantly block the subsequent shot.

23. Odegaard goes for the left-footed curler again, this time from much closer and inside the box.
The same issue persists, but there’s enough in the effort to have Majecki scampering across his line and the Arsenal fans on their feet.

21. Arsenal retreat into a low block as Monaco knock the ball around nicely in the final third.
Eventually, Declan Rice steps in to win back possession.
An intriguing opening quarter to the contest.

19. Lovely football from Saka and Odegaard opens up space for the latter just off the right flank.
The captain eyes up the top corner with a left-footer from the edge of the box, but can’t get enough curl on the ball to trouble Majecki.
