Olympiacos Embarrassing Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium

Olympiakos defensive game made by Pedro Martins who rely on Arsenal troublesome counterattack. This was admitted by Aubameyang.

“The game was difficult because they played very deep (defended). It’s hard to find a solution in a third of the opponent’s defense. The match was really difficult and also difficult to find space,” said Aubameyang after the fight ended.

Uniquely, according to Squawka’s record, Olympiakos have only won two of their 12 away matches in European competition (not including qualifications). The victory was won against Dudelange (2-0) and now against Arsenal. In other words, Olympiacos’ away record is very bad.
