Arsenal shared the points with Atalanta on Thursday night as they kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 0-0 draw at the Gewiss Stadium in Bergamo.
Neither side created much in the way of chances in the first half, with Bukayo Saka's effort from a free-kick the best of the opening 45 minutes, while Gabriel Martinelli's strike that flashed over the bar from inside the box was never threatening the goalkeeper. The hosts almost got in front when Thomas Partey conceded a penalty early in the second half, only for David Raya to produce an impressive double save against Mateo Retegui to keep the score even.
