Stuttgart star wants to face Arsenal in the Champions League

Arsenal will once again compete in the Champions League this season and are considered among the favourites to win the competition after reaching the final last term.

Before that, the Gunners reached the semi-final, demonstrating a clear pattern of progress in the competition. Their performances over the last two campaigns have strengthened belief among supporters that they are capable of lifting the trophy if they continue on the same trajectory.

Arsenal continue to build confidence

The Gunners have enjoyed an impressive run of form and will be aiming to maintain those standards throughout the new campaign. However, they are expected to face strong competition from several leading European clubs, all of whom will be hoping to challenge for the title.

If Arsenal are drawn against Stuttgart, the Premier League champions would be expected to provide a difficult test for the German club. Nevertheless, such a fixture is one that has caught the attention of a player from the Bundesliga side ahead of the group stage draw.

Demirovic hopes for Arsenal meeting

Smaller clubs often relish the opportunity to test themselves against some of Europe’s biggest teams, and Stuttgart’s Ermedin Demirovic has admitted that he would welcome the chance to face Arsenal in this season’s competition.

The Champions League draw will take place in a few weeks and, as reported by Sport Witness, Demirovic said he “would like to face Arsenal” and added that “it would be cool to play in England.”

Should the two clubs be paired together, Stuttgart will undoubtedly believe they can produce a positive result against one of Europe’s leading teams. Arsenal, meanwhile, will approach any potential meeting with the same level of professionalism they have shown in recent seasons, recognising the quality of every opponent they face. With expectations high once again, the Gunners will be determined to continue their progress in the competition and demonstrate why they are regarded as one of the strongest teams in European football.
