The name of Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium will change for the team’s Champions League rematch against PSV Eindhoven.
This evening, Arsenal welcomes PSV to the Champions League for the first time since 2017.
In fact, the Gunners are participating in Europe’s top competition for the first time since Arsene Wenger’s departure, after forcing Manchester City to a title fight the previous season.
And Mikel Arteta’s team comes into the game in good shape after defeating Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday.
It was their first victory there in five trips.
In fact, at this early stage of the season, Manchester City and Arsenal are separated in the Premier League by just two points.
As far as the Champions League is concerned, the Gunners are in Group B with Sevilla, PSV, and Lens.
On Wednesday night, the stadium will almost certainly be buzzing, but there might be some misunderstanding as to what the arena’s name actually means.
Due to sponsorship, Arsenal’s stadium is frequently referred to as the “Emirates.”.
On Champions League match nights, however, the stadium will only be referred to as the “Arsenal Stadium.”.
This is so that stadium sponsors can’t be recognized by UEFA.
The same rule does, in fact, apply to Manchester City’s Etihad Stadium, also known as the “City of Manchester Stadium” in the Champions League.’.
Arteta highlighted the team’s enthusiasm before Arsenal’s return to the competition.
The Spaniard exclaimed, “[We’re] excited and proud.
For the club, it has been a while since we have participated in the competition, and since it will be my first as manager, I’m really looking forward to it.
“I felt it every time we weren’t present while I watched it.
You put pressure on yourself, in my opinion.
The Champions League must include this club.
“When I have the job that I do, it’s my duty to try to take the club to the biggest stages and tournaments and then to fight for them there.
“It took time, but now that we are here, we must take advantage of the situation.”.
For more updates, we are at your service all day long and all night long.
