Calha makes the difference: Arsenal beaten 1 - 0

Together, on the balls raining into the box. Together, on the aerial challenges, clearing the danger. Together, defending the goal at all costs. And together, on the penalty spot, waiting for the net to ripple as Hakan Calhanoglu steps up to take the shot. It's rare to find such perfect harmony, such a powerful unity of purpose: the fans and their team, the players and their supporters.

Tension, focus, concentration, and determination. Effort and immense pride. The cold is forgotten, the opposition left with no choice but to surrender. Inter vs. Arsenal is a testament to an entire family fighting together for a common goal. The Champions League victory over the Londoners reflects all of this, delivering remarkable numbers: 10 points (with only Liverpool maintaining a perfect record), a fourth consecutive match without conceding, and an eighth win in the last nine games.
