The third round of this season’s UEFA Champions League has completely become a “performance stage” for the Premier League teams. Not only did the six participating Premier League teams remain undefeated, but they also scored a total of 19 goals, setting a record for the number of goals scored by a team in the same league in a single round of the Champions League. This performance attracted the attention of the entire European football world.

A closer look at the Premier League teams’ Champions League record this round shows that they are in full bloom. Arsenal swept Atletico Madrid 4-0, Manchester City defeated Villarreal 2-0, Newcastle beat Benfica 3-0, Chelsea beat Ajax 5-1, Liverpool defeated Frankfurt 5-1, and even Tottenham, who failed to win, also drew with Monaco 0-0.

Among them, Chelsea and Liverpool each contributed 5 goals, Arsenal scored 4 goals, Newcastle United and Manchester City scored 3 goals and 2 goals respectively. Such firepower output fully demonstrates the offensive strength of the Premier League teams.

After the third round of the Champions League, a total of 5 teams, including Arsenal, including Paris from Ligue 1, Bayern from Bundesliga, Inter Milan from Serie A, and Real Madrid from La Liga, lead their respective groups with 3 wins in all 3 rounds and 9 points. Arsenal’s inclusion among them also confirms its competitiveness in the Champions League.

In the Champions League feast of the Premier League's top players, Arsenal's performance is particularly outstanding, and their strength this season is not limited to the Champions League. In the Premier League, Arsenal currently leads the standings with a 3-point advantage; in the Champions League, they have won three consecutive games without conceding a goal. According to OPTA's calculations, Arsenal's probability of winning the Premier League this season is as high as 55%, and the probability of winning the Champions League is 20%. Both statistics rank first among all teams.

You must know that in the Champions League winning probability list, Paris ranks second with only 16%, and Manchester City ranks third with 13%; in terms of Premier League winning probability, Manchester City ranks second with 18%, and Liverpool ranks third with 16%. Arsenal's lead is obvious.

Such an outstanding performance is inseparable from the thickness and talent of Arsenal's lineup. The updated player value data from the five major leagues in the German transfer market shows that among the top 100 players in the world, Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain have 10 players each. The two teams can be called "harvesters of talented players."

Judging from the specific list, Arsenal tied for first place with Paris with 10 people in the top 100 worth 820 million euros, followed by Real Madrid with 9 people in the top 100 worth 1 billion euros, Barcelona and Liverpool tied for fourth with 8 people, and Manchester City ranked sixth with 8 people with a total worth of 685 million euros. Sufficient reserves of talented players provide Arsenal with a solid guarantee in two-line operations.

For Arsenal's prospects this season, former player Danny Murphy also gave his own views in an interview. When asked whether Arsenal could win either the Premier League or the Champions League, Murphy made it clear: "Yes, I think so now. I think they will win the Premier League."

However, when talking about the Champions League, he also pointed out: "PSG, when everyone is healthy, they are a team in another level."

As for the pressure on coach Arteta, Murphy believes: "I don't think Arteta has to win something. If you get 98 You wouldn't fire the manager if you lost the title on the last day or lost the Champions League final in overtime because of a bad refereeing call, right? That's ridiculous. But he would have to remain competitive in both events to be forgiven. "

Today's Arsenal not only have an excellent record of leading or competing for the championship, but also have a sufficient reserve of talented players, as well as the outside world's optimism for winning the Premier League. They are undoubtedly one of the most watched teams in European football this season.

Next, whether it is a battle with Manchester City and Liverpool in the Premier League, or a possible confrontation with strong teams such as Paris in the Champions League, every step of Arsenal is highly anticipated, and whether they can seize the opportunity and gain championship honors this season will also become the biggest attraction in the future.
