Arsenal 'very close' to winning a trophy - Salibapublished at 17:54 Greenwich Mean Time 12 March
Arsenal v PSV Eindhoven (20:00 GMT, agg 7-1)
Arsenal go into their Champions League last-16 second leg against PSV Eindhoven "very close" to ending a five-year wait for a trophy, says defender William Saliba.
The France centre-back wants to help his side win their first Champions League, and believes they are in a strong position to do so. The Gunners comfortably won the first leg 7-1 and host the Dutch side at Emirates Stadium in the return fixture on Wednesday.
When talking about Arsenal's title ambitions, Saliba said: "I think we are very close - we need to keep going. We can't stop working. When you're close and don't win trophies it's sad. With work we will make a big step and I am sure we will arrive there."
Arsenal, who have never won the competition, will face the winners of the tie between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the next round if they advance.
"Everyone wants to win the Champions League. It's a competition that's hard to win - anything can happen," Saliba added.
Manager Mikel Arteta said: "It's a competition that we have a lot of enthusiasm for. We have been very consistent and this can put us in an exciting position. We are going to carry on fighting to win every game. These are the demands we put on ourselves in every competition."
