The roar from the Arsenal fans as Kai Havertz’s late goal found the back of the net underscored the importance of this triumph for the club.
The Gunners have not lifted a major trophy since they won the FA Cup in Mikel Arteta’s inaugural season in 2020. After finishing as runners-up in the Premier League for three consecutive years, reaching a final represents a crucial step in their journey to securing silverware.

Having been part of Pep Guardiola’s coaching staff when Manchester City secured their first trophy and began their era of dominance, Arteta knows firsthand the ripple effect such victories can have.
Arsenal has assembled a talented squad and is enjoying a remarkable season. They currently lead the Premier League, have advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup, achieved a perfect run of eight victories in the Champions League, and now have a place in the Carabao Cup final.
With Arteta’s high expectations for his team, the prospect of winning trophies now seems well within reach.
