Ramsdale Tips Arsenal to Win the Champions League
Southampton goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale has backed his former club Arsenal to go all the way and win this season’s UEFA Champions League.
Ramsdale, who left Arsenal earlier in the season, believes Mikel Arteta’s team have what it takes to lift the trophy, especially after their impressive performance against Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
Speaking to Metro UK, the England shot-stopper rated Arsenal’s chances highly:
“Huge. I think every Arsenal fan and the players definitely backed themselves against Real Madrid and they showed what they can do against that team,” he said.
Ramsdale added that Arsenal’s recent win over Paris Saint-Germain should give the squad even more belief heading into the semi-final clash.
“They have already beaten PSG, so that can give them great confidence. Two legs can be difficult, but they’re still pushing and for me, if they get through, I think they’ll be the favourites to win it.”
Arsenal will take on PSG in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final next week. The Gunners are aiming to reach the final for the first time since 2006.
