Arsenal’s victory over Dinamo Zagreb ensured they enter their final Group F match at Olympiacos with an opportunity to reach the knockout stages of the Champions League for the 16th consecutive season.

To qualify for the last 16, Arsenal must:

  • beat the Greek side by a margin of two goals, or
  • win by a one-goal margin and score at least three times
  • if the match finishes 3-2 to Arsenal, Arsène Wenger’s side will qualify due to a superior goal difference
  • if Arsenal lose, draw or win by a one-goal margin and score two goals or fewer, Olympiacos will finish second and Arsenal will enter the Europa League
