Micah Richards warns Arsenal 'you haven't won anything yet' but thinks Gunners are THE standout Champions League favourites | Goal.com US

"Arsenal face Bayer Leverkusen in the last-16, and should they progress, they find themselves away from the side of the draw containing European royalty like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, as well as three Premier League rivals in Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool."

"The Gunners have been faultless in their application, but as the former Man City captain warned, the history books only remember the winners. Arteta's side has the platform, the draw, and the momentum; now they must prove they have the clinical edge to ensure they don't finish the campaign empty-handed."

Arsenal's Champions League draw has positioned them favorably in their bracket, with Bayer Leverkusen as their last-16 opponent. Should they advance, they avoid the side containing European powerhouses Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and defending champions Paris Saint-Germain, along with three Premier League rivals: Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool. The Gunners have demonstrated faultless application throughout their campaign and possess the platform, draw advantage, and momentum needed for success. However, as former Manchester City captain Richards cautioned, only winners are remembered in history. Arteta's side must now prove they possess the clinical finishing ability necessary to convert their favorable circumstances into tangible silverware rather than finishing the campaign empty-handed.
