Arsenal defeated Olympiacos 2-0 in the second round of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League, thanks to goals from Martinelli and Saka. Martin Suwaymendi expressed his joy at playing in his first home Champions League match and believes he has much more to offer Arsenal.

In the 12th minute of the game, Odegaard made a through pass, Dzekeres took a low shot but the ball hit the post, and then Martinelli made a follow-up shot to help Arsenal take the lead 1-0.

In the 66th minute of the second half, Daniel Podence made a pass and Ayub Kaabi headed the ball but it was saved by Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya. Then Chiquinho made a follow-up shot and scored, but after the intervention of VAR, it showed that Ayub Kaabi was offside before, so the goal was ruled invalid.

In the second half stoppage time, Odegaard passed the ball into the penalty area, Saka received it and shot it in, helping Arsenal extend their lead to 2-0. In the end, Arsenal defeated Olympiacos 2-0 at the Emirates Stadium and won two consecutive victories.

Arsenal midfielder Martin Suwaymendi said in an interview, “I feel very happy. This is my first time playing in the Champions League at this home stadium. The atmosphere is really great. We scored two goals and kept a clean sheet. This game was very intense. We started well, but the opponent put a lot of pressure on us in the final stage of the second half. I think the team was under unnecessary pressure at certain moments.”

In addition, so far in the Premier League this season, the 26-year-old Martin Suwaymendi has contributed two goals to Arsenal and his overall performance is also good.

When talking about adapting to Arsenal, Martin Suwaymendi shared, "The adaptation process has been good, but I feel I can do better. The team's performance is really good, and the coaching staff has given me a lot of trust. The feeling on the court is good, but I think I can perform more at this club."

On the other hand, Arsenal will host West Ham in a London derby in the seventh round of the Premier League this season. Arsenal is currently ranked second in the standings with 13 points, only two points behind Liverpool, who are in first place.

Martin Subimendi continued, “We need to keep this momentum going and win as many games as possible. We will recover well and be ready for the next game against West Ham.”
