The Gunners, despite dominating possession and creating chances, couldn't find the back of the net, while Inter capitalized on a moment of defensive lapse to snatch a crucial win.
The game started with Arsenal pressing high and looking dangerous.

However, the Italian side, known for their defensive solidity, held firm, frustrating the Gunners with their well-organized backline.
The first half ended goalless, but the tension was palpable. Arsenal fans were growing increasingly anxious, as their team's dominance wasn't translating into goals. The second half began with Arsenal continuing their relentless attack, but Inter's resolute defense stood strong.
Then, disaster struck for Arsenal in the 70th minute. A lapse in concentration allowed Inter's Lautaro Martínez to slip through the Gunners' defense and slot the ball past Aaron Ramsdale. The goal was a cruel blow for Arsenal, who had dominated the game for so long.
Despite throwing everything they had at Inter in the final stages, Arsenal couldn't find an equalizer. The Italian side held on to claim a vital three points, leaving Arsenal with a mountain to climb in their quest for a place in the knockout stages.
This defeat will be a bitter pill for Arsenal to swallow. They'll need to regroup quickly and bounce back in their next Champions League match. The Gunners have a tough road ahead, but with the talent they possess, they are still capable of making a run in this competition.
It's a reminder that even the best teams can stumble in the Champions League. Arsenal fans will be hoping that this defeat is just a minor setback and that their team will come back stronger.
