Unai Eemry believes Arsenal can go all the way in this year’s Europa League, however, the Gunners boss has warned that there at least five other teams who can also win it.

Arsenal booked their place in the last 16 of the competition courtesy of a 3-1 aggregate win over BATE – they had trailed from the first leg after a shock defeat in Belarus last week.

An early own goal and two either side of half-time from Sokratis Papastathopolous and Shkodran Mustafi sealed a comfortable win for Emery’s side.

Arsenal are through to the Europa League last 16

The manager, who won the competition on three successive occasions with Sevilla, says Arsenal can lift the trophy in May.

He said: “We can win. Maybe if we can say there are six teams that can win it, one is Arsenal. But it’s very difficult. A lot of teams want the same thing.

“We need to enjoy this competition a lot, and create a big atmosphere with our supporters. This feeling can give us more possibilities, with our quality as a team.

“We need to feel stronger in this competition, and create this atmosphere around us.”
