Arsenal Storm Past Inter to Maintain Champions League Perfection

In a commanding display on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, at the iconic Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, Arsenal continued their flawless UEFA Champions League campaign with a 3–1 victory over Inter Milan, reinforcing their status as one of Europe’s most formidable sides this season. 

Arsenal — already unbeaten with a perfect record in the group phase — arrived in Milan determined to build on their European momentum, and they delivered with efficiency and flair against a proud Inter side eager to secure a vital home result. 

The match burst into life when Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring in the 10th minute, capitalising on a well-worked move and showing clinical instinct in front of goal to silence the San Siro crowd. 

Eight minutes later, Jesus doubled Arsenal’s advantage with a composed finish inside the box, illustrating his sharpness and importance to Mikel Arteta’s attacking setup. 

Inter responded through Petar Sučić in the 18th minute, threading a precise strike beyond Arsenal’s goalkeeper to halve the deficit and inject fresh belief into the home side’s pursuit. 

However, Arsenal regained control and sealed the win late in the match when Viktor Gyökeres netted in the 84th minute, capping a strong away performance and underlining the visitors’ depth and attacking threat. 

The result not only maintains Arsenal’s 100 % record in the Champions League group stage but also underscores their growing confidence and cohesion under Arteta’s leadership. With vital contributions from key players and a resilient team display on Italian soil, Arsenal now look well-placed to chase glory deep into Europe’s premier club competition.

The controversy began after Seun Kuti, son of the late Afrobeat icon, criticised comparisons frequently made by Wizkid’s fan base between the contemporary hitmaker and his father. According to Seun, such comparisons are inappropriate and diminish Fela’s historical significance, which he insists transcends commercial success or global popularity.

He emphasised that Fela was not only a musician but also a revolutionary figure whose work was deeply rooted in political activism, social justice, and resistance against oppression.
