Arsenal Away in Europe - Help needed

In order to keep my son from getting too bored on a damp Half Term afternoon, I have set him the task of listing all the European capitals cities that Arsenal have never played a competitive match in. Any help on some of the more obscure ones would be most welcome!!

Probably some of the Baltic states? Riga, Vilnus, Tallinn. Tirana in Albania maybe? Ankara in Turkey

?

Have we ever played in Macedonia - think the capital is Skopje (not sure if that's the spelling).

This is going to sound stupid, but how often have we actually played PSG in the Champions League?

I don't recall in the recent past and Paris would be an elephant in the room.

Edit: Just remembered the CL final was in Paris. :-(

Never - we did play them in the CWC semi-final in 1994 though

I've been thinking about this.

Yes, well, I'm too young to recall the Cup Winner's Cup. Was it basically the Europa League?

I loved it it was rather exciting.

Baku too, p - I thought we were mates

Nah - much shorter for a start. Europa league is the Uefa cup/CWC combined

CWC was great apart from 1980 and 1995 finals :cry:

Austria Vienna in the 1991-92 European Cup - won the first leg 6-1, lost the second 1-0

Re: Arsenal Away in Europe - Help needed

An as it happens Monaco don't play in either Monaco-Ville or Monte Carlo, but in Fontvieille.

Close, but no cigar!!

Fontvieille is in Monaco. Monaco is capital.

Arsenal play in Islington but are in London.

Counts imo
