While a number of EPL fans are hoping to see their teams challenge for the domestic crown, the Arsenal fanbase contends that a shot at Champions League glory is also on the cards.

Why Arsenal could win UCL

An eagle-eyed Arsenal fan has pointed out a key stat involving Arteta that convinces him that they could be crowned European champions.

A Twitter account, going by the handle @thejesuszone, cited the Spaniard's record at Wembley as the key element that could see the Gunners win the UCL under him.

“Mikel Arteta X Wembley. Out of the 12 matches he’s played at Wembley as a player and manager… He’s won all 12. 2024 Champions League final is at Wembley…” the user explained.

Arteta's most recent glory with the North London side came on Sunday when his charges stunned Man City on penalties to win the Community Shield.

Sports Brief also reported on Erling Haaland trolling Arsenal fans after they booed him when he was substituted on a rather frustrating day for the Premier League's golden boot winner.

The Norwegian lifted three fingers to tell the day's opponents he won three trophies last season and perhaps he did not care about the Community Shield, with his team eventually losing.
