Arsenal icon David Seaman has expressed confidence that Mikel Arteta’s side can secure a historic double by winning the Champions League title, fresh off their Premier League success. The north London outfit clinched the domestic crown on Tuesday evening when Bournemouth held Manchester City to a 1-1 draw at the Vitality Stadium, with Erling Haaland’s late equalizer failing to keep the title race alive for City.
Seaman, a legendary goalkeeper for the Gunners, believes the current squad has the mentality to add European glory to their achievements. Reflecting on the upcoming final against Paris Saint-Germain in Budapest, he emphasized that style takes a back seat to results. “It’s all about winning, it’s not how we play,” Seaman stated, while nostalgic for the classic chant of “1-0 to Arsenal,” which he insists still carries a powerful ring.
Arsenal will officially lift the Premier League trophy on Sunday at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace, before shifting focus to the Champions League final scheduled for the following week. The club’s return to the summit of English football after a prolonged drought has reignited hopes of a double, with Seaman’s prediction adding fuel to the optimism surrounding the team.
