The referee punished Arsenal for a harsh penalty at the end of the first half while a much more ironclad penalty was not awarded to the Gunners earlier on. The second half saw Arsenal dominate but they failed to convert, slumping to their first loss of the 2024-2025 edition of the UEFA Champions League. Note also the significant loss for Manchester City at Sporting for Amorim's last home game.
