Arsenal are now odds-on to end the season with silverware – but could this campaign turn into something far more historic?

A famous double is firmly on the table after Bukayo Saka fired Arsenal into the Champions League final with a 1-0 win over Atletico Madrid. The victory has set up a blockbuster showdown in Budapest against Paris Saint-Germain.

After Tuesday’s win, Arsenal became priced at 11/10 to lift the trophy, a moment that would mark a major milestone for the club. Arsenal have not reached a Champions League final since their 2006 defeat to Barcelona.

But the European dream is only half the story.

Domestically, Arsenal remain in control of the Premier League title race, sitting five points clear of Manchester City with just three games left to play. Their next test comes against struggling West Ham United, with Arsenal heading into the weekend as 1/5 favourites to go on to claim the league crown.

If that moment becomes reality, they will then look towards potential European glory and the chance to seal a remarkable double – a feat that is currently priced at 6/4.

Arsenal have shown resilience to recover from a late-season wobble that briefly threatened to derail their campaign. While defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final raised doubts, Arsenal have responded with renewed focus and authority.

The idea that they might “bottle it” has quickly faded. With momentum, belief and quality now aligned, it feels increasingly difficult to see this team finishing the season empty-handed – with that scenario priced at 5/1.

Instead, Arsenal stand on the brink of something far more significant.

Should they finish the job in both competitions, this campaign will be remembered alongside the greatest achievements in the club’s history. After years of rebuilding under Mikel Arteta, Arsenal suddenly seem worth backing to turn the season into one that supporters will talk about forever.
