Legendary Arsenal player Paul Merson asserted that when the Champions League Round of 16 drawings are made, other teams would prefer not to play the Gunners.
Mikel Arteta’s team defeated Lens 6-0 on Wednesday night, moving them on to the competition’s final stages.
Despite needing to go to PSV for their final match on December 12, they will emerge from the group as victors.
Merson now predicts that his old team will advance “a long way” in the Premier League and the Champions League.
“I stated in the beginning. They seem like major participants in this competition, in my opinion. They will not be desired to play by anyone.
They really clicked tonight, and when they get off to a strong start, they’re difficult to stop.
Merson predicted on Soccer Special that “they will go a long way in this tournament and they’ll be right up there in the Premier League title race.”
