Arsenal set for shock Champions League obstacle after late transfer confirmed
Arsenal will face off against Sevilla in the UEFA Champions League, with the Spanish team now recruiting Real Madrid icon Sergio Ramos
Arsenal are back in the UEFA Champions League this season after a seven-year hiatus from the competition.
The Gunners finished second in the Premier League last term, booking themselves a spot back with the rest of Europe's elite. Last week, Mikel Arteta and Co found out who they would face in the group stages, drawing Sevilla, Lens and PSV Eindhoven in a relatively favourable group considering they were in pot two.
Now, Sevilla's defence is set to be boosted by the addition of Real Madrid legend Sergio Ramos, who has of course won the Champions League on four occasions. Arsenal's squad is relatively short of experience in the competition in comparison to Ramos, with the likes of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli yet to feature in it.
However, the likes of Gabriel Jesus, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kai Havertz have all featured in a Champions League final, the latter of which netted the winner for Chelsea against Manchester City, who Jesus and Zinchenko played for at the time, back in 2021.
