Arsenal's first Champions League home match of 2024/25 is set to be a particularly special occasion for Gunners coach Mikel Arteta, who enjoyed an 18-month loan spell in Paris while still a teenager on the books at Barcelona. There will be no room for sentiment, though, as the north London side look to claim their first three points of the campaign against Luis Enrique's team – who needed a last-minute own goal from Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga to beat the Spanish outfit on Matchday 1.

"There are some things we did exceptionally well," Arteta said after his team's goalless draw at Atalanta. "[But] there are going to be things we have to do much better. We want to improve in certain areas. We need to be a lot more consistent if we want the team to flow."
