Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger believes they have a brighter future than Champions League opponents Barcelona.
Wenger rates Barcelona as the world's greatest football team but is confident his own side have time on their side.
He added: "The interesting comparison is that the average age of Barcelona was 27.4 and our average age was 23.2.
"That means there are four years difference between the two teams on the maturity side and four years at that level is absolutely huge. We are where we want to be and we hope we can deliver trophies this season.
"The attitude and the commitment of the team to deliver is sensational. I said that in September when everybody questioned us, absolutely everyone.
"It is important we keep this commitment and desire in every training session. The real pride will be when we look at each other at the end of the season and we have given absolutely everything to go as far as we can. I am confident this team will do it."
