Just Arsenal Opinion
Our star boy is becoming a top player in the Champions League and he will want to play in the competition every season.
We top the league standings now and will need to keep winning our games if we want to end the campaign as the champions of England.
Liverpool and Manchester City are stronger than Lens and we must keep the momentum we have built in the last week in domestic and European competitions.
If that happens, we can be sure that we will end this term with at least one trophy for our cabinet, but there is still a long way to go in all competitions.
