Lazio will be looking to vastly improve their form in the UEFA Champions League, having repeatedly failed to make an impact in the competition.

In 1999/2000, the first season they took part in the tournament, Sven-Goran Eriksson took the Biancocelesti to the Quarter-Finals of the competition, having gone through 12 games and two group phases to get there.

In the last eight, they lost out to a Valencia side who made it all the way to the final, losing to Real Madrid.

On only one other occasion have Lazio made it to the knockout phase, and that came in 2020/21 when they lost to Bayern Munich 6-2 in the Round of 16.

Arsenal, under Arsene Wenger, were a repeat presence in the UEFA Champions League, and between 2003/04 and 2016/17, the North London club not only qualified for the competition every season they never failed to get out of the group phase.

The club’s first appearance in the competition came all the way back in 1971/72 after the Gunners had completed ‘The Double’ the season before. They made it through to the Quarter-Finals of the European Cup that season before losing to Ajax.

George Graham’s title-winning side played in the 1991-92 European Cup, losing to Benfica in the Second Round.

Arsene Wenger saw his side repeatedly reach the latter stages before falling to European giants.

In 2005/06, they made it to the final, where they met FC Barcelona in Paris. Arsenal were reduced to ten men after less than twenty minutes when keeper Jens Lehmann was sent off.

Sol Campbell surprisingly put Arsenal in the lead late in the first half, and Wenger looked set to guide his team to a famous victory before Frank Rijkaard’s side battled back to win thanks to late goals from Samuel Eto’o and Juliano Belletti.

Their strongest and most consistent run in the competition came between 2007 and 2009. In 2007/08, they were defeated by Liverpool in the Quarter-Finals.

The following season, they lost to Manchester United in the Semi-Finals, and it was Barcelona that knocked them out the following season in the Quarter-Finals.

Arsenal missed out on UEFA Champions League football for six seasons until Mikel Arteta’s second-place finish in the Premier League saw them return to the top table of European football in 2023/24.

SS Lazio vs Arsenal Head-to-Head

Lazio and Arsenal have previously met in two European campaigns. The first of these came in the 1970/71 Inter-Cities Fairs Cup, with Arsenal running out 4-2 winners over the two legs of their First Round fixture.

Thirty years later, they were paired in the same UEFA Champions League group, with Arsenal winning at Highbury 2-0 thanks to a Freddie Ljungberg double. The return fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, with Robert Pires leveling after Pavel Nedved had put Lazio ahead.
