King Arsene Wields Power Over Pep Guardiola, Defeats Man City 4-1 in Semi-Finals
Arsenal cruised into the Champions League quarter-finals by beating Bayer Leverkusen on Tuesday
Arsenal’s Champions League victory over Bayer Leverkusen has perfectly primed them for Sunday’s Carabao Cup final against Manchester City, according to Leandro Trossard. The Gunners eased into the quarter-finals on Tuesday night with a 2-0 win (3-1 on aggregate), while City tumbled out of Europe against Real Madrid. Attention shifts to Wembley, where Premier League leaders Arsenal, who are chasing an unprecedented quadruple, face City for the season's first major silverware.
Trossard stated: "We’re looking forward to it a lot. It’s one of our objectives as well and I think everyone will be ready for that. “We’re still competing on every level now and we just need to keep going game by game and every game is very important for us, so we want to try and win every game.

You can see his qualities as well, in and around the box, the way he takes that shot with a lot of confidence and how it goes in. It’s one of those goals you only score, I don’t know, maybe once or twice in your career. So credit to him and I’m really pleased with that.
