Gabriel Martinelli has talked about Arsenal’s dream to win the UEFA Champions League. He believes the team can win the club’s first-ever title in this important competition.
WHAT HAPPENED?
Martinelli shared his hopes before Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final against Paris Saint-Germain. He said, “We have this dream, we believe we can win the Champions League. This club has never won this title. The club deserves to have it. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. We’re really happy to be involved in this moment.”
These words come as Arsenal gets ready for their biggest European match under manager Mikel Arteta. The Gunners reached this stage with a strong 5-1 win over holders Real Madrid, exciting fans with a 3-0 victory in the second leg at the Emirates Stadium.
ARSENAL’S SEASON SO FAR
Arsenal has had a great run at home and in Europe. In the Premier League, they are top challengers, sitting near the top of the table after good performances all season. In the Champions League, they are unbeaten since the group stages and have beaten top teams like PSV Eindhoven and Real Madrid to reach the last four.
Martinelli has helped with big goals and assists, playing an important part in key games. The squad enters the semi-finals full of confidence and energy, having already beaten PSG 2-0 during the league phase last October.
WHAT COMES NEXT?
Arsenal will play PSG in the Champions League semi-final first leg at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday, April 29 at 20:00 BST. The return leg will be in Paris on May 7.
PSG, the French champions, have also done well by beating Liverpool and Aston Villa in past rounds. Arsenal’s unbeaten streak is over two months in all competitions, and they will need to keep playing well to reach their first Champions League final since 2006.
After this European game, Arsenal will focus back on the Premier League, where the title race is close at the top.
