Arsenal’s season has gone off the rails a little bit in recent weeks.
Indeed, the title race is over after Arsenal dropped points against the likes of West Ham, Nottingham Forest and Manchester United, and with Kai Havertz out for the season, Arsenal are lacking the firepower to claw their way back into the mix.
However, there’s still something to play for this season.
Indeed, Arsenal remain in the Champions League, but with Real Madrid coming up in the next round, the north London club face an uphill task.
Thierry Henry believes Arsenal can beat Madrid, and Martin Odegaard has actually gone one step further, claiming that he believes Arsenal will win the Champions League this season.

Martin Odegaard says Arsenal will win the Champions League
Speaking to TV2 Sport, Odegaard was asked to name which team he thinks will win the Champions League.
The midfielder didn’t hesitate before giving his answer, confidently proclaiming that he believes Arsenal will win the Champions League.
Arsenal are certainly outsiders to win the competition, but this is the sort of confidence you need if you are to upset the odds.
“Who will be the winner of the Champions League?”
“Arsenal,” Odegaard said.
Arsenal’s route to the Champions League final
Odegaard believes Arsenal will win the Champions League, but if they’re going to do it, they’re going to have to do it the hard way.
Indeed, Arsenal’s route to the title is not easy.
Of course, there’s never an easy draw in the Champions League, but Arsenal’s route to the trophy couldn’t be much harder at this point.
| Arsenal’s likely route to the Champions League final | |
|---|---|
| Real Madrid | |
| Semi-finals | PSG |
| Final | Barcelona/Bayern Munich |
Real Madrid are the reigning European champions, while PSG dominated Liverpool in the last round of the competition.
Meanwhile, Barcelona or Bayern Munich are likely final opponents for Arsenal should they get that far.
Barcelona are playing some incredible stuff right now, and Raphinha could win the Ballon d’Or this season.
Meanwhile, Bayern Munich are also dominating in Germany at the moment, and, of course, there’ll be that extra incentive for Harry Kane to get one over Arsenal given his links to Tottenham too.
Arsenal do have a chance in the Champions League, but they will have to go on an incredible run if they’re to become European champions.
