Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has challenged his young players to go unbeaten for the rest of the season and earn the trophy he feels they are ready for.
The Gunners have been cast as a club in crisis at times in the past year but have now gone 18 matches without a Barclays Premier League defeat heading into a their Champions League clash against Villarreal tomorrow.
Holding an away-goals advantage from the first leg of the quarter-final in Spain last week, Wenger's youngsters will be within touching distance of the final in Rome if they hold on.
Wenger said: "These boys are winners. I believe in general this team has not got the credit it has deservedu00a0the focus these players have shown since the beginning of the season has been fantastic.
"The determination, the hunger and the quality is there.u00a0 Recently, in every single game, when the odds were against us we found the resources within the team. That happened at Villarreal, that happened again at Wigan (on Saturday).
"The team has shown great mental strength through the season."
