Arsenal vs. Inter Milan (via Reddit)
We look at things/stars/entities that were not around when Arsenal last took on Inter Milan in the Champions League
It’s been over 20 years since that night at San Siro when Arsenal hammered Inter Milan, 5-1. The year was 2003, and that season Arsenal went on to become Invincibles, a feat still marveled at by fans and pundits alike.
After a 3-0 thrashing at Highbury, Arsenal were equally rampant in Italy as well. On the 25th of November, Thierry Henry fired Arsenal into the lead, five minutes before the half-hour mark. However, Christian Vieri’s deflected shot went past keeper Jens Lehmann, leveling the score for Inter Milan.
The second half was all Arsenal. After taking the lead before the 50th-minute mark through Freddie Ljungberg, the North London club were ruthless in the ending stage of the game. Henry, recently resigned from sporting director Edu and Pires made it 5-1 to Arsenal.
