Arsenal fans must be very excited about the 2025/26 Champions League draw, as Softfootball believes Barcelona, Arsenal, or probably Atlético de Madrid are all in a prime position to reach the final. This is a golden opportunity for any of these three clubs.
Looking at their branch of the draw, Arsenal will face Leverkusen, Sporting CP will clash with Bodø/Glimt, Atlético de Madrid will meet Tottenham, and Barcelona will take on Newcastle.
Putting it side by side, the biggest clubs in this section are Barcelona, Arsenal, and Atlético de Madrid. However, Arsenal arguably have the easiest path to the semifinals. If they defeat Leverkusen and then Sporting Lisbon, they would reach the quarter-finals, likely facing either Barcelona, Atlético, or Newcastle, before aiming for the final.
This draw represents a huge opportunity for Arsenal to potentially win the quadruple. The path also favors Barcelona, as they could beat Newcastle and then possibly Atlético de Madrid to reach the final. But in comparison, Arsenal’s route appears more straightforward, giving the Gunners a strong chance to advance deep into the competition.
