Several teams wrapped up their Champions League group stage campaigns on Matchday 6 Tuesday, and there were some surprising results.
Chief among them was Paris Saint-Germain drawing 2-2 with Ludogorets, which coupled with Arsenal’s 4-0 win over FC Basel gave the Gunners the top spot in the group. It’s Arsenal’s first No. 1 finish in the group stage since 2011-12.
