Leandro Trossard has expressed his confidence that the entire Arsenal squad is prepared for this weekend’s Carabao Cup final, as the Gunners look to end their wait for silverware.

The Belgian winger has been instrumental in Arsenal’s journey to the final, with his contributions throughout the competition helping Arteta’s side reach this decisive stage. With a strong possibility of starting at Wembley, Trossard’s influence could prove crucial once again.

Collective determination

Speaking about the team’s mindset ahead of the final, Trossard emphasised the squad’s unified approach to their trophy hunt.

“Yeah, a lot, a lot. It’s one of our objectives as well and I think everyone will be ready for that,” he said. “We’re still competing on every level now, and we just need to keep going game by game and every game is very important for us, so we want to try and win every game.”

His comments, as reported by Just Arsenal, reflect the focused mentality within the squad as they prepare for what could be a season-defining moment.

The north London side have maintained their competitiveness across multiple competitions this season, and Trossard’s emphasis on taking each game as it comes demonstrates the professional approach that has carried them to this point.

Opportunity to silence critics

This final represents more than just a chance to lift silverware. Arsenal have faced criticism in recent years for failing to capitalise on key moments, with questions raised about their ability to deliver when it matters most.

For several members of the current squad, this could be their first opportunity to secure a major honour with the club. The psychological impact of success at Wembley could provide the foundation for sustained achievement across other competitions.

Conversely, failing to capitalise on such a significant opportunity could have wider implications for confidence and momentum during the crucial final months of the campaign.

Arsenal’s approach under Arteta has been built on consistency and mental strength, qualities that will be tested to the full in the pressurised environment of a cup final. The Gunners’ recent form suggests they are well-equipped to handle the occasion, with Trossard’s experience and composure likely to be vital assets.

The Belgian’s versatility has made him an increasingly important figure in Arteta’s squad, capable of impacting games from various positions across the front line. His ability to create chances and score crucial goals could prove decisive in what promises to be a tightly contested final.

With the squad unified in their determination and key players like Trossard in excellent form, Arsenal appear well-positioned to end their trophy drought and take a significant step forward in their development under Arteta.
