Leandro Trossard, Kai Havertz, Bukayo Saka, and Fabio Vieira helped Mikel Arteta's team to triumph against the Gunners despite goals from Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Ferran Torres.
Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez explains why his side lost to Arsenal despite scoring the game's first goal after the match.
"Arsenal deserved the win. Speed and fitness were the main difference. With the ball we were good, but we were bad in defence," he said.
"They've already played more games. This is our first one. We saw positive signs against a more prepared opponent. Regardless of the result, my conclusions from this match are positive.
"I understand that everyone wants to win, but I told Arteta that it looked like a Champions League match. The intensity that they put was too high."
