UCL: “This Is Their Year, For Sure” Wayne Rooney Picks Team To Win Trophy Former Manchester United and England striker Wayne Rooney has backed Arsenal to win the UEFA Champions League this season, declaring that “this is their year” following their impressive run to the final. Rooney made the bold prediction after Arsenal’s dramatic semi-final victory over Atlético Madrid, which secured their place in the Champions League final for the first time in two decades.

Speaking as a pundit, Rooney praised Mikel Arteta’s side for their consistency, mentality, and growth throughout the campaign, insisting the Gunners now have everything required to go all the way. “I think this is their year, for sure,” Rooney said, expressing confidence that Arsenal will lift the trophy in what would be a historic achievement for the North London club.. He added that Arsenal’s progress under Arteta, combined with their performances against top European opposition, shows they are ready to complete the job in the final. Rooney also highlighted the atmosphere at the Emirates Stadium during their semi-final triumph, noting that the team appears to be feeding off strong belief from supporters. Arsenal reached the final after defeating Atlético Madrid over two legs in a tightly contested semi-final tie, sealing their qualification with a narrow but decisive aggregate win. The result has set up a landmark Champions League final for the Gunners, who are chasing their first-ever title in the competition. Rooney’s comments add to growing belief around Arsenal’s chances, with several pundits tipping them as favourites following their elimination of Atlético Madrid and their overall European form this season. Manager Mikel Arteta has transformed the squad into one of Europe’s most competitive sides, blending youth, tactical discipline, and attacking flair. Arsenal will now face either Bayern Munich or Paris Saint-Germain in the final, with expectations high as they prepare for one of the biggest matches in their recent history. A victory would mark Arsenal’s first Champions League triumph and cement this squad’s place in the club’s history.

With confidence building and Rooney among those backing them, Arsenal head into the final with momentum, belief, and growing expectation that, indeed, “this is their year.”
