Arsenal Demolish Atletico Madrid 4–0 in Champions League Second-Half Rout
Arsenal delivered a statement performance in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night, thrashing Atletico Madrid 4–0 at the Emirates Stadium after a stunning second-half surge.
Following a goalless first half, the Gunners exploded with four goals in a 13-minute spell to secure their biggest European win of the season. Viktor Gyökeres struck twice, Gabriel Martinelli added one, and Declan Rice orchestrated the attack with assists for every goal.
Teenage midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly also impressed, providing the assist for Martinelli’s finish as Mikel Arteta’s side overwhelmed Diego Simeone’s men with pace and precision.
