Villarreal veteran Robert Pires was bowled over by Arsene Wenger's young Arsenal team during last night's 3-0 Champions League defeat.
"They can go far. This is a big team full of potential, speed, freshness and youth. What I hope is that they reach the final and win it," the former France international told Marca.
"I'm still a fan of this team, who play the type of football that I love."
