Arsenal and Inter Milan meet again in the Champions League tonight, and for Arsenal fans, one trip to the San Siro will always come flooding back.
More than two decades on, the night Arsenal tore through Inter 5-1 in Milan remains one of the club’s greatest European performances. A group-stage game that began with real jeopardy ended in total domination, as Arsene Wenger’s side delivered the clubs then biggest ever UCL victory in a statement result in one of football’s most intimidating stages.
After losing 3-0 to Inter at Highbury and suffering defeat in Kyiv, Arsenal arrived in Milan knowing anything less than a win could end their Champions League campaign early. Inter, stacked with experience and pedigree, were favourites. What followed was unforgettable.
Inter Milan team: Toldo, Cordoba, Javier Zanetti, Cannavaro, Materazzi, Brechet, Cristiano Zanetti, Lamouchi, Van der Meyde, Martins, Vieri
Arsenal team: Lehmann, Cole, Campbell, Toure, Cygan, Ljungberg, Parlour, Edu, Pires, Kanu, Henry
