    Almost a beautiful free kick. Sanchez is an absolute beast.

    Ludogorets beating PSG 2-1

    Is this real life?

    Even if we finish top, we'll still get Real Madrid or Bayern Munich. <laugh>

    It's a shame to concede but to be fair it was a good goal.

    Looks like we may be topping the group..

    Happy days. Well done Arsenal. How we didn't beat PSG is a mystery but onwards and upwards.

    Group Winners. Been so so long since we could say that. Now please at least make QFs this time because if we get to the final 8 anything is possible.

    Great results.

    Feels good to be topping the group.

    Perez had a blinder today and linked up very well with Mesut Ozil. If he keeps playing like that he should be starting ahead ofWalcott.

    Walcott is our best performing wide player so far this season, it's oxo and Iwobi who should be looking over there shoulders!

    I really like what I've seen of Perez so far, hoping to see more of him now he is back in the mix after returning from injury.

    We could get Bayern Munich or Real Madrid in the next round.

    Benfica or Porto/Copenhagen are probably our best draws.

    PSG played a blinder there, knew that Bayern and Real would be possible opponents if they topped the group so held back for an easier draw :grin:

    There's no 'easy' games from now on, but Porto/Copenhagen would be preferable. I'm just happy that we've won the group.

    Lucas Perez has scored the same number of goals in the CL this season as the Spuds

    It's the first time we've been unbeaten in the group stages since 2005

    Just back from the game....not sure if it was seen on TV but Xhaka was brilliant today. Always knew when to play simple, when to turn left instead of right and also moved the ball forward when needed. Brilliant! You compare it to Ramsey which I barely noticed throughout the game.

    Nice game to attend live!

    It was an impressive performance , we look so fluid and dangerous. We could have had more. I'm looking forward to playing anyone as long as we maintain this form.
