Hi ,

I am trying to query an index in elasticsearch which typically consists of documents of the following structure.

Doc 1 :  
{  
"group":"pl",  
"club":[  
{  
"name":"Arsenal",  
"wins":[  
{  
"2018":22  
},  
{  
"2019":17  
}  
]  
},  
{  
"name":"Chelsea",  
"wins":[  
{  
"2018":21  
},  
{  
"2019":20  
}  
]  
}  
]  
}

Doc 2 :  
{  
"group":"pl2",  
"club":[  
{  
"name":"Arsenal",  
"wins":[  
{  
"2018":25  
},  
{  
"2019":31  
}  
]  
},  
{  
"name":"Chelsea",  
"wins":[  
{  
"2018":26  
},  
{  
"2019":24  
}  
]  
}  
]  
}  
Essentially i need to find documents by using the the condition **club name = "Arsenal" and wins in 2018 \> 25**. Can anyone help me with a possible solution for this? Unfortunately i need to keep this structure.

Fortunately found it.. Nesting an nested query inside one, did the trick. Thanks and sorry for the trouble..
