1. FC Standard strike again: Arsenal dismantle Atlético

During the Champions League clash between Arsenal and Atlético, many experts anticipated a defensive battle beforehand. For at least 55 minutes, it seemed like a scoreless game. But then the Gunners found the breakthrough – naturally from a set piece. Gabriel was there with a header after a Rice free kick.

So 1. FC Standard has struck again. Londoners have deservedly earned this name in recent years. In the calendar year 2024, they have celebrated 14 times after a set piece.

And it was the case again this evening, not once, but twice. After two more goals from open play, Viktor Gyökeres was there again after a corner. During the current season, they have already scored seven goals from set pieces in all competitions.

Bayern must be on notice when they visit the Emirates Stadium in just under a month. It is best not to concede any set pieces.

Otherwise, they could end up like Atlético. The Rojiblancos return to Madrid extremely bruised.
