Arsenal has a good chance of winning the Premier League and ending a 22-year drought, apart from that, they also have the opportunity to win the FA Cup and Champions League. Facing four opportunities at once, after only two minor titles (Community Shield) in six years, is a big challenge that could backfire if not handled well.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believes victory in the Carabao Cup final will be crucial for their chances. It will unlock greater confidence.
“This is a matter of learning from previous experience,” he was quoted as saying Sky Sports.
“Today’s game was very different from the first one at Stamford Bridge. We handled it very well, how to fight and understanding what we had to do.”
“Very impressive. Now let’s win the final,” added Arteta.
