Atalanta vs Arsenal – Champions League: Live score, team news and updates as Mikel Arteta’s men look to open European campaign with a win
The Gunners are hoping to snap a three-game losing streak in Italy tonight. The north Londoners also failed to score in defeats by Roma, AC Milan and Napoli.
That most recent defeat came 11 years wgo to be fair. It was so long ago that current boss Mikel Arteta was in the starting line-up.
Yes, you have that correct. As part of the revamped European Cup we now have Champions League fixtures on a Thursday. Don’t worry Arsenal fans, you’re not back in the Europa League.
Instead, you’ve got the very exciting clash against the reigning champions of Europe’s second-tier competition, Atalanta. The Gewiss Stadium plays host to the meeting of the two side’s tonight as the Gunners bid to claim their maiden triumph in this competiton.
Arsenal have made a good start to the season and again look best placed to capitalise on a slip from City in the league. But can they finally get their hands on a big piece of silverware?
Of course nothing will be decided tonight but that doesn’t mean we won’t get a great game. We’ll have all the news ahead of the 8pm kick-off and then live updates when the game gets underway in Bergamo.
Former Manchester United hero Cristiano Ronaldo couldn’t resist a dig at Arsenal in his candid chat with former Gunners goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny – in a moment caught on social media.

David Raya has become a hero to Arsenal fans. Mikel Arteta signed the goalkeeper from Brentford in the summer of 2023, initially on a season-long loan deal.
