Arsenal and Inter Milan will be meeting for just the third time in the Champions League on Wednesday .That group-stage win was one of Arsenal's very best under Arsene Wenger and helped propel the Gunners to their unbeaten Premier League title.Before Arsenal's win over Inter the Gunners were bottom of their Champions League groupFailure to beat Inter on matchday four, coupled with an unfavourable result elsewhere, would have knocked them out of the Champions League.
Arsenal may have been flying in the league with 10 wins from 13, but they were facing an Inter side who had already beaten them and had far better European Cup pedigree. The Frenchman silenced a chorus of booing home fans by receiving the ball off Ashley Cole and side-footing home from the edge of the box.
"I remember the first half was pretty even but in the second half, shooting down towards our corner, Henry, Pires, Edu and co. ran riot, sending us ecstatic!" added Guy Wisemen, who was also at the game. The Frenchman collected the ball from inside his own half, charged into the box, beat Javier Zanetti with a trick, and then smashed one into the bottom corner.
