Gunners Gun Down Atlético: Arsenal Run Riot in 4–0 UCL Rout

Arsenal lit up the Emirates with a dazzling second-half blitz, crushing Atlético Madrid 4–0 in their UEFA Champions League clash on October 21, 2025. After a cagey first half, the Gunners exploded with four goals in just 13 minutes, sending a clear message to Europe: they mean business.

Gabriel Magalhães broke the deadlock in the 56th minute with a thunderous header that ignited the crowd. Just seven minutes later, Gabriel Martinelli coolly slotted home to double the lead. Then came the Viktor Gyökeres show—two rapid-fire goals in the 67th and 69th minutes that left Atlético stunned and Arsenal fans roaring.

It wasn’t just the scoreline that impressed. Arsenal dominated possession, pressed relentlessly, and didn’t allow a single shot on target. Their tactical discipline and attacking flair were on full display, making this one of their most complete performances of the season.

Manager Mikel Arteta hailed the team’s intensity and focus, especially in the second half. With three wins from three in the group stage, Arsenal now sit fifth in the overall standings, tied on points with the leaders but trailing slightly on goal difference.

This victory adds to their growing momentum, following recent wins against Fulham and Athletic Bilbao. If this form continues, the Gunners could be on the verge of something truly special in Europe this season.
