Braga stars convinced Arsenal will be European champions

Braga's players are convinced they were thrashed by the future European champions Arsenal this week.

Alan was full of praise for the Gunners and feels they are already one of the strong favourites to win the Champions League this season.

The Brazilian, 30, said: "It was a bad night. We can already see that Arsenal are serious candidates to win the Champions League.

"There are still five games to go and we can still qualify from this group. We have lost the battle but not the war."

Braga defender Moises believes the Arsenal attack was like a hurricane and they had no answers in stopping their strikers.

He said: "I didn't expect the scoreline to be such a big rout. It was such a big blow for the team, but it is not going to destroy us for the rest of the tournament.

"Arsenal were like a hurricane in the attack, but we always knew it was going to be a tough game as they are one of the big favourites in the group. Our challenge now is to win at home and improve as a team."
