Even though things have been rough for Arsenal lately, Bukayo Saka said he still believes the team will win something at the end of the season.
In their last three Premier League games, the Gunners have only picked up one point, which has put them behind the leaders in the title race. Also, Edu’s shocking resignation as sports director rocked the club.
The amazing Saka has been playing great for Arsenal this season. After their 2-0 win over Paris St. Germain in October, he said that he thinks this is the year that they beat Manchester City.

But despite falling five points adrift of Pep Guardiola’s side and seven behind table-topping Liverpool, Saka has not given up hope.
“For me, I always live by the quote, ‘it’s not what you see, it’s what you believe’,” he said ahead of Arsenal’s tie against Inter Milan at San Siro.
“If you look at our squad, the quality we have, the players we have, and at the same time we’re only in November so I don’t think I’ve lost any belief.
“Obviously there’s a lot of noise around the club and we lost two games and drew another one.
“But at the same time it’s important to stay calm. We don’t want to create any panic and chaos. I don’t think we need that right now.
“I’m just doing my best to help the team in every way I can and if I need to do that I’ll do that for sure.”
Arsenal have taken seven points from their opening three games in Europe so far – the same tally as Wednesday night’s opponents.
Saka was on the scoresheet in Arsenal’s statement triumph over PSG at the Emirates and the England international, 23, continued: “In these big games, there’s always a big atmosphere, there’s always a lot of pressure, a lot of intensity and for me I feel it brings the best out of me, so I’m looking forward to it.
“We have a very good record and we’re unbeaten. We’re going to look to keep that record tomorrow night and that’s all we can really do.”
