Former Manchester United midfielder, Owen Hargreaves, has stated two reasons Arsenal will not win the Champions League this season.
Mikel Arteta’s men reached the quarter-finals last term, where they were eliminated by Bayern Munich on a 3-2 aggregate.
Speaking on TNT Sports, Hargreaves claimed the Gunners are inexperienced at this level.
He said: “I don’t know if it’s naivety but I think they’re pretty inexperienced at that level.
“I can’t think of many who had been there before last season – Jorginho was probably one of the few guys, Gabriel Jesus but he was a squad player at City – so I think it takes time.
“You saw that in those Bayern games, and Bayern were struggling at that point but were probably worthy winners over the two legs. So I think it takes a bit of time.”
Hargreaves also claimed Arsenal don’t have enough depth in their squad this campaign.
He added: “‘We’ve seen it’s hard [to win the Champions League] – look at Paris Saint-Germain who have invested billions and haven’t been able to win.
“I do think that Arsenal are going up – they’ll win trophies. But the competition gets fiercer every year and that lack of depth could cost them.”
