'Years in the making' - are Arsenal ready to shed 'nearly-men' tag?
"There was a special atmosphere inside our stadium. It makes such a difference. We've been waiting a few years to get into this position and we're certainly going to enjoy it [the final]. It's the best vitamins that we can put in our bodies because we're playing every three days. But the fact that you worked so hard to achieve those moments and to have these moments together is just magical."
"We deserve it. The last three or four years we've been at the top of the Premier League, competing and got really close but haven't been good"
Arsenal advanced to the Carabao Cup final with a 4-2 aggregate win over Chelsea, ending six years of semi-final failures. The victory represents the club's first major final under Mikel Arteta since the 2020 FA Cup and only their second during his tenure. The match was tight and sometimes dull, with both teams registering only two shots on target. Kai Havertz scored an injury-time goal to confirm Arsenal's place at Wembley. The Gunners rarely looked troubled and displayed defensive solidity. Arsenal will contest a ninth EFL Cup final on 22 March against Manchester City or Newcastle, aiming for a first League Cup in 33 years.
