We open our 2024/25 Champions League campaign in Bergamo when we take on Atalanta on Thursday night (8pm UK), looking to get the new-look league phase off to the best possible start.
The first of our eight matches, all against different opponents, comes against the reigning Europa League holders who knocked out Sporting Lisbon, Liverpool and Marseille before stunning Bayer Leverkusen in the final courtesy of an Ademola Lookman hat-trick, and Gian Piero Gasperini’s side will be hoping to make their mark in Europe again.
It will be the first time the two clubs have faced each other, but Mikel Arteta will be hoping that we can bring our impressive domestic away form into Europe in the first of two massive matches in the space of four days, as we aim to progress past our quarter-final appearance last term.
