The team's lack of experience was a significant factor in the match, as Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored early goals to give Arsenal a strong start at San Mames. This setback will likely motivate Athletic Club to regroup and secure their first win of the 2025-26 campaign, particularly in their upcoming match against Borussia Dortmund.
Arsenal, on the other hand, will return to their home stadium, the Emirates, to face Olympiakos on October 1.
