Arsenal all but secured a top-eight finish in the UEFA Champions League with a comfortable 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

Arsenal host Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League needing a win to ensure they're in contention for a top eight finish and that coveted round of 16 bye.

A goal in the opening two minutes, one after half-time and another in the dying embers rounded up a solid performance for Arsenal, while Dinamo still have it all to do in order to continue their continental journey.

Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 3-0 at the Emirates to return to winning ways in style, with three impressive goals scored by Declan Rice, Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard. Arteta was delighted to see Odegaard score his first goal from open play since April 2024, on what was a memorable night for several Gunners.

Arsenal do as much as they can, which means it is close to impossible for anyone else to do enough to prevent their safe passage into the Champions League last eight. Uefa are hoping for what might be a satisfyingly wild night next Wednesday, but some of it does sound a little absurd.
