Gunners backed to challenge in Champions League winner market

Arsenal’s deep run in the Champions League has strengthened their position in the outright market, with tougher tests still to come. Navigating elite opposition will be key if they are to go all the way.

"It’s nice, first of all, to see Arsenal back up there, competing in Europe again, because it’s something we haven’t seen for so long.

"They take an important lead into their second leg against Sporting Lisbon this week.

"I actually think, for Arsenal, Atletico Madrid would be a tougher test than Barcelona.

"They are a difficult team to manoeuvre.

"But if you want to win the Champions League, you’re going to have to face the best before you get there.

"The challenge is to find a way of beating them.

"This week is about finishing the job against Sporting, and then they’ll focus on whoever they’ve got in the semis.

"You know, these are special nights for everyone associated with the football club.

"It’s important that when you do – and if Arsenal get there this year – that they give everything."
