Arsenal legend William Gallas reckons his old club have a one in three chance of winning the Champions League this season.
The Gunners face Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
And there's real hope main man Bukayo Saka will finally return after injury for the home first leg on April 8.
Gallas told Spin Genie: "I’d give Arsenal a 30% chance of winning the Champions League.
“It’s going to be hard against Real Madrid, but in the Champions League you never know. Real Madrid were suffering against Atletico, but they are going to come up against a new style, an English style, even if the manager is Spanish.
“They like to have possession and play football, it’s an interesting game in which anything can happen. I think a 30% chance of winning the Champions League is fair for Arsenal.”
Arsenal are weighing up a move for Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane, and they could land the German on a free transfer.
Mikel Arteta knows the forward from his time as a coach at Manchester City.
Sane has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 22 Bundesliga appearances this season.
The German would give Arteta more much-needed options for his front line.
Arsenal have struggled at the top end of the pitch this season due to injuries to the likes of Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz, which has kept them out for the large part.

Arsenal are confident long-term crock Bukayo Saka could return in a fortnight - for their biggest game of the season so far.
The Gunners host Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final first leg on April 8.
And The Athletic's David Ornstein says that date fits with Arsenal's "estimated recovery" time for their much-missed England winger following his surgery.
However, Ornstein stressed: "But they won’t rush him or take risks and rightly so.”
Fiorentina striker Moise Kean is rated a potential summer target for Arsenal.
Gunners boss Mikel Arteta has been criticised for failing to land a world-class goal-getter in recent transfer windows.
And Tuttomercatoweb suggest Kean, 25, is now an option.
But the 20-cap Italian flopped in the Prem with Everton from 2019-2023 before returning to Junvetus.
He joined Fiorentina last July, notching 20 goals and three assists in 34 matches this campaign.

Arsenal are said to have jumped ahead of Bayern Munich in the race for Nico Williams.
Journalist Christian Falk told Caught Offside: “It’s not true that Bayern Munich are in the lead for Nico Williams.
“I think, at the moment, Williams is closer to a move to Arsenal than Bayern Munich, as the Bundesliga club can’t be as concrete as they would like as things currently stand.
“Williams is still very high on the list at Bayern, but Max Eberl, head of sport, has to sell players first. They want to sell Kingsley Coman. If they can manage this, they could take the money and use it to help sign Williams.
“Serge Gnabry is also on the for-sale list, but no club is interested at the moment. So, Bayern have to wait and see if they can make a sale for Coman.”
Thomas Tuchel has admitted to being incredibly impressed with Myles Lewis-Skelly.
He said after his debut goal last night: "Amazing player, amazing personality. He came into camp and showed straight away that it’s normal to fall in love with him. It is well deserved.
"He’s full of courage, full of quality.
"With injuries lately and the latest injury form Lewis Hall we ran out a little bit of left footers who can play left-back.
"We were always impressed with Myles since he started he came so quick, a regular player for Arsenal, second best team in the country at the moment, quarter finalist in Champions League so huge concurrence in his club.
"Mikel Arteta picks him regularly so this is very impressive from the very start."
Luke Shaw? Ben Chilwell? Lewis Hall? Or is Myles Lewis-Skelly the answer to England's left-back uncertainty?
Declan Rice believes the teenager's future can be at left-back and he can make the starting spot his own ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Rice revealed: “I said about it before Christmas, and a lot of people laughed at me and questioned it and said I was speaking out of turn by saying good things about him.
“But week on week he’s shown how good he is, and the fearlessness he has in his performance.
“That’s on him — how much you want it and how much you want to keep going. He needs to be hungry every day.”
Declan Rice has revealed that Myles Lewis-Skelly did not know he was getting England debut until the morning of the game.
Rice said: “He needs to keep being himself around the training ground at Arsenal, around England, and keep pushing himself.
“He’s an asset for us now. He’s 18 years old and has got a long career in the game if he keeps doing good things.
“He didn’t even know he was going to be starting until today and I just knew he was going to have a good performance, because he has that belief in himself.”
