UEFA UCL / Inter Milan - Arsenal: who holds the historical advantage?

UEFA UCL / Inter Milan - Arsenal: head-to-head history

Just hours before the European showdown at San Siro, Inter Milan and Arsenal are set to revive a rivalry that is as rare as it is memorable. The two clubs have faced off only three times in official competition, always in the Champions League, and have never shared the spoils—each encounter producing a definitive winner.

The record slightly favors the Nerazzurri, who have claimed victory twice compared to just one win for the Londoners. Back in 2003, Inter made a statement at Highbury but, just weeks later, suffered a heavy home defeat at the hands of an inspired Gunners side, who delivered a resounding 5-1 that still echoes in memory.

More recently, in November 2024, Inter regained the upper hand at the Giuseppe Meazza with a narrow but valuable win. The rivalry may be brief, but every clash has left a lasting mark, fueling a sporadic but intense competition.
