Arsenal legend Certain the Gunners Can Win the Europa League this Season

DBasia.news –  Arsenal legend, Robert Pires, has confidence that Arsenal can win the Europa League this season. Arsenal can do so if they get past Napoli.

The Italian club will be Arsenal’s opponents in the quarter-finals of the Europa League 2018/19. Arsenal will first host Carlo Ancelotti’s team, Friday (12/4) at 2:00 a.m. WIB, before changing to San Paolo on Friday (19/4) at 2:00 a.m. WIB.

The Europa League is considered by Pires as the title Arsenal wants to achieve this season. Moreover, the Europa League winners can play in the Champions League next season. Defeating Napoli, which in fact is one of the favorites for this year’s championship, can smooth Arsenal’s steps to becoming the Europa League champion.

“I hope and pray for him (Arsenal winning the Europa League) as this is the target for the club, the manager, as he (Unai Emery) has won the Europa League three times, and of course for players, because if we win the Europa League we will play in the Champions League next season, “said Pires at Calciomercato.

“If we beat Napoli, I think we can win the trophy. The match will be very challenging because Napoli is one of the favorites to win the Europa League.”

“But really, I think Arsenal are on a good trend in the Premier League, in the Europa League we have beaten a very good French team, Rennes.”

“So I thought we were very confident, I was happy with the new manager, Unai Emery, he did it well. So, that’s why for the game against Napoli I was very positive and confident,” concluded Pires.

Arsenal’s position is also quite good in the Premier League. Laurent Koscielny and mates sit in fourth place with 60 points from 30 matches that have already taken place. They have the chance to play in the Champions League next season without having to go through the Europa League championship path.
