Leandro Trossard believes Arsenal have the quality to win the Champions League, saying it would be “magical” if they did.

The Gunners occupy fifth place in the league table after six matches, as one of seven teams on 13 points.

Mikel Arteta’s side will boost their chances of automatic qualification to the round of 16 with victory over Dinamo Zagreb on Wednesday.

And Trossard is confident the squad are capable of going all the way.

“I think as a kid, that is what you dream of [winning the Champions League],” he told TNT Sports ahead of the clash at the Emirates Stadium.

“I think the Champions League is one of the biggest competitions there is, maybe the biggest, and it would be magical to win it.

“It is such a hard competition, but I think and believe that we can do that with this squad and this team.”

Should he feature against Dinamo, Trossard will make his 100th appearance for Arsenal since arriving from Brighton in January 2023, and the Belgium international is thrilled to hit the landmark.

“I am really happy, it is a great moment, and I am happy I am already there [on 100 appearances],” he said.

“To be in such a great club and such a good squad as well. All the individuals here are such good human beings as well, and I love to be here.

“We have such a good atmosphere. Obviously, when you don’t win games, it is different. But even then, everybody tries to help each other and lift the spirits.”

The Gunners return to Premier League action against struggling Wolves, and will be looking to close the six-point gap on leaders Liverpool, who have a game in hand.

Mikel Arteta’s side, who endured a difficult end to 2024, won 16 of their final 18 league games last season, and Trossard has urged his team-mates to replicate that form this time around.

“Win every game, that needs to be our mindset,” he said when asked what he wanted to see from the team over the next four months.

“Obviously, it is the hardest thing in football, but we did it last year as well when I think we had a rough patch in December. After the end of January, we won almost every game, and I think we are capable of that as well.

“OK, we had the injuries, but I think a lot has been done in the head mentally as well and the mindset. We just need to keep believing.”
