Arsenal: A Winning Machine, Set to Claim Three Trophies

Bornheimer – Arsenal has secured a spot in the Carabao Cup final after defeating Chelsea with a convincing aggregate score. This victory, according to Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp, is not just about booking a trip to Wembley, but also a clear warning to their rivals. Redknapp boldly predicted that Arsenal is on the right path to win two or even three trophies this season.

The confirmation came after Kai Havertz’s dramatic counterattack goal in the 97th minute sealed a 1-0 victory at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday, February 5, 2026. Havertz, a substitute, punished his former club and helped ensure an aggregate score of 4-2.

This win also broke Arsenal’s “semifinal curse”, a hurdle they had struggled with in recent years, having fallen short in four consecutive semifinals.

A New Mentality Taking Root at Arsenal

With Arsenal at the top of the Premier League, still active in the Champions League and FA Cup, Redknapp believes the mentality of champions is now firmly taking root within the squad under Mikel Arteta.

Redknapp sees the final as a pivotal moment for Bukayo Saka and his teammates. The heavy burden that has weighed on their shoulders in recent seasons is likely to be lifted.

“Arsenal are ready to win,” Redknapp said confidently in his analysis for Sky Sports.

He highlighted the depth of Arteta’s squad as the key differentiator between Arsenal and their competitors. “They’ve suffered in recent years after coming so close to winning, but looking at the squad, the depth, and how they play, they’re the best team so far,” Redknapp added.

Arsenal’s Play Becoming More Relaxed

Redknapp also noted that although Arsenal’s recent performances have been “safe” and “tense,” their qualification for the final could bring a change in their approach.

“They’ve played a bit stiff, a bit too cautious, but now I think they can relax and play, and we’ll see a better Arsenal, the one we saw at the start of the season,” Redknapp said.

His optimism soared as he saw Arsenal still alive in four different competitions. “There’s no reason they can’t win two, even three trophies,” he stated confidently.

Arteta Defends His Team’s Style of Play

Redknapp also defended Arteta against critics who have questioned Arsenal’s playing style. Some have argued that the team relies too much on set pieces or questioned their attacking sharpness.

For Redknapp, however, aesthetics take a back seat when a team is hunting for trophies.

“Arsenal is a winning machine right now,” he declared, giving the team a new label.

He drew a comparison with past Arsenal teams to validate his point. “It wasn’t always pretty. In 1989, when Arsenal won the league, it wasn’t pretty, but it didn’t matter how it looked, it only mattered what was on the scoreboard,” Redknapp recalled.

“No one cares at the end of the year. It’s just about getting that trophy in your hands,” he added.

Arteta: Victory Is the Best Medicine

On the other side, Arteta could not hide his emotions. The manager described the night as “magical,” especially after his team had faced boos following their recent defeat to Manchester United.

The atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium, which roared with support, provided a significant morale boost for his squad.

“Starters, substitutes, staff, everyone was there. It was truly magical. I’m so happy because it was a really tough game against a great opponent, and now we’re at Wembley,” Arteta said, clearly moved.

Arteta also credited the supporters for their crucial role in lifting the team’s spirits during difficult moments of the match. “I think the crowd was brilliant today. They brought so much energy and belief to the team at different moments,” Arteta praised.

For Arteta, the win was more than just an outcome—it was the perfect remedy for the team’s fatigue, especially with the packed schedule they face, playing every three days.

“This is the best vitamin we can put into our bodies because we play every three days,” Arteta concluded.

Arsenal’s Quest for Multiple Trophies Continues

Arsenal’s path to glory this season seems clearer than ever. With a Carabao Cup final secured, top spot in the Premier League, and still in the hunt for the Champions League and FA Cup, the Gunners have built a strong foundation for success. The mentality of a winning team is now firmly established, and their pursuit of multiple trophies is very much alive. Arsenal’s transformation under Arteta has turned them into a formidable machine, ready to compete on all fronts.
