BUKAYO SAKA says Arsenal's Champions League heroics have filled them with the belief they can beat Manchester City in their title showdown at the end of this month.
The Gunners last night booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals for the first time in 14 years by beating Porto on penalties on a dramatic night here in north London.
Goalkeeper David Raya (right) was the hero, as Arsenal won 4-2 in the shootout after the tie finished 1-1 on aggregate, saving two penalties to spark jubilant scenes.
Arsenal will find out their quarterfinal opponents when the draw is held on Friday and an historic Double is now within reach. The Gunners are top of the Premier League and next travel to the Etihad Stadium to face City in a huge game on March 31.
Arsenal have not won away at City since 2015, but Saka insists they can break that run and make another statement in the title race.
