Arsenal now knows their Champions League opponents, and Piers Morgan believes they have secured a favourable draw.
The Gunners are competing in the tournament for the second consecutive season after making their return last year.
Mikel Arteta’s side performed well in the competition last season and will be one of the teams to watch this time around.
Arsenal was placed in Pot Two for the Champions League draw as the competition adopts a new format.
The Gunners will face PSG, Inter Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk, Atalanta, Dinamo Zagreb, Sporting Lisbon, Monaco, and Girona.
Most Arsenal fans expect their team to perform well, even in the away fixtures.
Arteta understands that every club in the Champions League deserves the utmost respect, as they have all earned their place in the group stage of the competition.
However, Morgan still feels it is a fair draw and after the games were published, he wrote on X:
“Great draw.. we’re the best team in it.”
Just Arsenal Opinion
The new format is tricky, and one of the biggest mistakes we can make is to underestimate the teams we have been paired with.
However, we have the players to win most of our matches and qualify for the competition’s knockout stage.

We are in for some real excitement. Can’t wait.
But I’m worried about the inadequacies in our front line with Nketiah likely gone and apparently no replacement coming.
After the failure of the Benjamin Sesko deal at the start of the transfer window, I was convinced that Arsenal had a second option to pursue immediately. But that has turned out to be false hope
We scored more goals last season compared to the previous one still and performed even better than clubs with percieved proficient strikers, failure to sign a striker doesnt imply unawareness of the tasks ahead to those players available and the Manager; alternative option is effort to transist formations; most Arsenal fans dont seem to realise that the formations of play that require 100% indulgence of say Gabriel Jesus and Havert (lose the ball, press and track back to regain the ball) gets them committing and sometimes exhaustive, but that is the style of play at Arsenal implying that even with a percieved “formidable” striker will have challenges in scoring goals with that workrate but this is modern football. We have aslo seen other players on the team failing to convert clear chances, we neednt excuse them for “not being strikers”, against Aston Villa Odegaard missed a clear seater when ball went wide he required composure and calmness and that is where we have lacked. The striking force isnt about a no 9 only, we have Martinelli, Havertz, Jesus. Saka all on the striking force; we have seen Martinelli being wasteful, not composed and selfish at most times; if the players realise that archieving wins is totally team play, they will always look out for better positioned teammates for goal scoring chances, then the sky is the limit for us this season. Let us Have faith in the Technical team I TRUST that they are equally aware of our striking concerns especially since it is goals that win Games. Keep the Hope GUNNERS
I hope the Coman deal were sealed today before the transfer date winds up
Really a favourable fixtures.
But there and then, we need a new striker.
Havertz can’t cope with the pressure all alone and in reality he is not a complete strict be to say.
Arteta is a very stubborn coach, he should know that Havertz alone can’t not cope with the pressure, with gebrial Jesus, having injuries all the time Arsenal need strike that can give them 30 goals in a season, if not they will end the season the same way they end it last season……
I wonder if we lose harvert what hope do we have with injury prone Gabriel Jesus.can harvert shoulder all the responsibility of all the match through out the season? We definitely need a for no9. Arteta is been sentimental and bias he doesn’t think about the love of fans n toil on our emotion, an unborn child knows we need a striker his very stubborn
