Martin Ødegaard scored the only goal as Arsenal won 1-0 away at Napoli in their Champions League league-phase opener at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Wednesday night. According to Punch, the Arsenal captain struck in the 75th minute, curling a left-footed shot from outside the box in off the far post after being set up by substitute Christos Tzolis, securing a hard-fought victory for the visitors.

Arsenal cancelled manager Mikel Arteta's pre-match press conference ahead of their Champions League fixture against Napoli, citing air traffic control delays that disrupted the team's travel plans, according to Tuko. The cancellation raised questions about the club's compliance with UEFA's media obligations, which require teams to hold press conferences before matches. The London club has since learned of the punishment handed down by European football's governing body over the breach of its media regulations.

Arsenal wore red shorts instead of their usual home combination during their 1-0 Champions League victory over Napoli, a change prompted by UEFA kit regulations designed to avoid colour clashes in European competition. According to Tuko, Martin Odegaard's strike secured the win for the Gunners. The report explains the governing body's kit rules that forced the Premier League side to alter their traditional strip for the fixture at home against the Italian club.

Napoli manager Max Allegri has warned his players they must defend better when they host Arsenal in their opening Champions League league phase fixture on Tuesday. According to the Daily Post, Allegri pointed to defensive lapses in recent Serie A matches against Como and Inter Milan as mistakes his side cannot afford to repeat against the Gunners.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said his side can perform at a higher level than last season after the club beat Chelsea 2-1. According to TimesLIVE Sport, Arteta expressed optimism that the team could surpass the success it achieved in the previous campaign. The victory over their London rivals appeared to reinforce his belief in the squad's potential heading further into the season.

Chelsea took the lead after just two minutes through Morgan Rogers, but Mikel Arteta's reigning champions responded quickly, with Kai among the scorers as the hosts overturned the deficit, according to the report.
