UCL: Saka rates Arsenal’s chances of winning trophy after eliminating Real Madrid from tournament

Bukayo Saka, one of Arsenal’s key players, is confident that his team can go all the way and win the Champions League this season.

Speaking after their thrilling victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg, Saka shared his belief in Arsenal’s potential to lift the prestigious trophy.

In a high-stakes match at the Santiago Bernabeu, Saka bounced back from a missed penalty to score Arsenal’s first goal in the second half. Gabriel Martinelli added another goal, ensuring a 2-1 win for the Gunners. This performance highlighted the strength and determination of the Premier League side.

The victory confirmed Arsenal’s place in the semi-finals with a commanding 5-1 aggregate score. In the first leg at Emirates Stadium, Arsenal had delivered an impressive 3-0 win, setting the tone for their quarter-final success.

With this result, Mikel Arteta’s squad now turns its focus to their next challenge—a semi-final clash against Paris Saint-Germain later this month. The team’s strong form and determination make them one of the top contenders for the title.

In his post-match interview, Saka shared his optimism, saying, “We’ve shown we can defeat Europe’s best teams both at home and away. I truly believe we have what it takes to win the Champions League.”

Arsenal fans are undoubtedly excited about their team’s journey, as the Gunners aim to achieve glory on Europe’s biggest stage.
