Former Arsenal midfielder Mathieu Flamini is hoping that his old club will end their four-year wait for a trophy soon.
The Frenchman is hoping that the Gunners will finally win the coveted Champions League trophy to end that drought.
Flamini said: "It is important Arsenal win something this season.
"They deserve success because they have worked so hard and have great quality - I feel they are capable of big things.
"I've been supporting them since the beginning, not just now they have reached the semi-finals. I believe in this team and know they have a lot of quality.
"Arsenal showed they are capable of beating Manchester United in the Premier League so why not in the Champions League?
"The important thing is to play their football. They have to feel free, play like they know they can and enjoy it because it's not every day you play a Champions League semi-final.
"Arsenal must try not to not concede a goal in the first leg at Old Trafford. And with the quality they have in their team they will always have chances to score before going back to the Emirates.
"They need to play with freedom but they have to keep it tight at the back at the same time. I'm sure they will be OK. If they play their football they have a great chance to win it."
