Why 2nd-Place Finish in Champions League Group Could Spell Doom for Arsenal

Arsenal’s 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain has seen them lose control of their Champions League destiny. If PSG can beat comparative minnows Ludogorets Razgrad in the final round of fixtures, they will top the group and the Gunners will be left at the mercy of the draw. It’s a result that could leave Arsenal facing a seventh consecutive exit at the first knockout phase.

Your perception of Arsenal’s November will vary drastically depending on whether you’re a glass-half-full or glass-half-empty kind of fan.

The optimists will point to an unbeaten run that stretches back to the opening weekend of the Premier League season, and the fact that they continue to pick up positive results in spite of mounting injuries and difficult circumstances.
