Gather make I yarn you wetin dey happen for Arsenal side as dem don land for the Carabao Cup final for 2025–26 season. Na serious matter o, dis one fit be the first waka towards di historic quadruple wey Mikel Arteta dey chase.
Dem finish di semi-final match wey dey take place for Stamford Bridge for January. Chai, di first half na pure drama! If you no dey shout, wetin you dey even do for di football match? But e be like say di second half wey happen for Emirates no reach dat level wey dem expect.
But me I no go lie, Arsenal fans no go mind all dat stress. Dem don dey close to di trophy wey fit make dem jubilate after six long years wey trophy no land for dem side since when Arteta carry dat FA Cup for 2019–20.
As Arsenal dey prepare for di big match wey go happen for March 22 for Wembley, make we no forget say history no dey smile for dem when e come to di finals of dis competition. As dem dey call am different names since e burst enter di scene, dem don reach di final for different occasions but dem no too sabi win am.
Arsenal first waka enter di final na 1967–68, but their last appearance before dis one na 2017–18. From dat time, dem get six times wey dem don appear but only two na dem carry go home!
Di last time wey dem lift dat cup na 1992–93, when Steve Morrow create yawa by breaking him arm while he dey celebrate di goal wey bring dem victory against Sheffield Wednesday. Na severe level o! Di only other time dem win na for 1986–87, when dem beat Liverpool thanks to Charlie Nicholas wey carry two goals.
Omo, dis gist don dey turn into wahala. Six finals dem don lose, and na different teams dey give dem palava each time. Dem don face Swindon Town wey dey two leagues down, as dem carry dem shine drum wella.
If we check di record, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Tottenham dey follow dem for di losing side, but none don reach di level wey Arsenal dey for dis competition wahala. Dem don lose finals to Leeds United, Luton Town, Chelsea, and more. Even Manchester City no gree make dem shine well!
As dem dey enter dis final, na wetin we go see be dat. Will dis be di time wey Arsenal break di jinx? Or dem go still dey sing di same song wey dem don dey sing since? Make we keep eyes on di ball as di match dey come!
