Arteta’s Relentless Arsenal Keep Winning as Champions League Table Shifts
It’s another remarkable night in Europe for Arsenal, and honestly, what a story it’s turning into this season. After beating Sparta Prague 3–0 away from home, the Gunners have not only strengthened their position in the Champions League table but also written another piece of club history. This victory marks their tenth consecutive win in all competitions and their eighth straight clean sheet — a record that dates back more than a century.
Mikel Arteta’s men looked sharp and composed from the start. Bukayo Saka opened the scoring with a coolly taken penalty, and then Mikel Merino — who has quickly become one of the standout performers this season — struck twice to seal a commanding win. What’s even more impressive is that Arsenal have now conceded only three goals in their last sixteen games across all competitions. That kind of defensive solidity has become the hallmark of this side, and Arteta made sure to praise his players for it.

But what stands out even more is Arteta’s attitude after the match. Despite this near-perfect run, he made it clear that satisfaction isn’t part of the plan. “We want more,” he said firmly. “We can still improve and do things better. That’s the right mindset to have.” His tone wasn’t one of celebration, but of ambition. It’s that hunger for continuous progress that seems to define this Arsenal team right now.
The match also had a special moment when Hale End graduates Max Dowman and Andre Harriman-Annous made their Champions League debuts. Dowman, incredibly, became the youngest player ever to appear in the competition. Arteta didn’t know that at first, but he was full of praise for the youngster’s confidence and composure. “It’s not about the age,” he said, “it’s about the personality and the courage you have to play at this level.”
In the bigger picture, this win doesn’t just secure Arsenal’s place at the top of their Champions League group — it sends a strong message across Europe. The team looks balanced, hungry, and unified. Arteta also took a moment to thank the traveling fans, many of whom followed the team from Burnley at the weekend to Prague for this midweek clash. “They’re unbelievable,” he said, smiling. “We really appreciate the effort and energy they bring.”
As the Champions League table takes shape, Arsenal are not just contenders — they’re setting the standard. Ten wins in a row, a rock-solid defense, and a manager who refuses to settle — it’s the kind of momentum that makes fans believe this could be another unforgettable European campaign.
