Can the Gunners win the Champions League?

Former Premier League midfielder Leon Osman, on BBC Radio 5 Live: "I was asked at the start of the season whether I thought Arsenal were capable of winning the Champions League. I said yes, I do think so.

"They need to have performances like this. They need to be more positive away from home. We know they can be defensively sound, but the question was whether they can really go and take the game to somebody, like Manchester City and Real Madrid do at times.

"They've now done that against a Sporting side that has been undefeated here for 13 months and started the season wonderfully well. They've absolutely dominated them in every aspect."
