With the draw for their quarter-finals being concluded, fans are already predicting who will meet in the final and who could lift the trophy, with social media showing a lot of faith in Arsenal.

Arsenal face tough ask against Bayern Munich

While fans may think the Gunners have a good shot, the English side must go through the German giants to progress to the semis.

Bayern have developed a reputation for embarrassing the Gunners in Europe and will look to do the same as they chase their only chance of a trophy this season.

If they somehow manage to get past the German side, Arsenal will have to go through either Manchester City or Real Madrid to make it to the final.

UEFA ask fans' opinions

Before the draw, UEFA took to social media to ask fans who they thought would make the final.

Many hoped City and Madrid would contest the final in Wembley, but that match will be a quarter-final encounter instead. City are favourites going into the encounter, but Madrid are the kings of the competition.

Speaking of Madrid, one fan wants to see them take on Paris Saint-Germain in the final.

The two sides are on opposite ends of the draw and could face each other at Wembley.

The game would also see Kylian Mbappe take centre stage as the French attacker is leaving PSG at the end of the season and is expected to sign for the La Liga side soon.
