Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher has admitted he is 100% behind Arsenal, as they try and duplicate what the Reds did last season by winning the Champions League.

Arsenal face Juventus on Wednesday night, holding out a 2-0 advantage over the first leg. The Gunners have been made clear favourites to knock out the Italian giants, and Carragher admits they have done brilliantly to get this far.

"They've done brilliant. It's pretty similar to what we did last year. They're probably not too happy with how they've done in the league. I hope they do well. The football they play is outstanding. They probably are the best footballing team in the country," the Souse told Sky Sports News.

Carragher also admitted that Arsenal played their best in a long time against Juventus the last time the two sides met, and it would be an achievement in itself to replicate that performance.

"The way they played against Juventus in the first leg, if they get anywhere near that they'll certainly go through. Juventus will realise they are 2-0 down, and they are going to try and put Arsenal under pressure and get an early goal."
