This idea worked really well!
About the reasons for Arsenal FC’s current strength which will take place on Wednesday (9 pm/DAZN). FC Bayern As for the top game in the Champions League, a lot is already known: top coach Mikel Arteta (43), super newcomers like Eberechi Eze (27/arrived from Crystal Palace in the summer) and standard guru Nicolas Jover (44) have all played a part in the fact that the London side are currently top of the Premier League and second behind Bayern in the premier class league phase.
But very few people outside the UK know another secret of success: Labrador dogs Win!
Labrador Dogs Winning was a factor in Arsenal’s victory
Coach Arteta brought him to the club in 2023. Since then, Win (English for: Victory) daily at the club location. An employee looked after him.
The idea behind it: The dark brown dog should not only ensure the necessary desire to win with its name, but above all make the atmosphere in the club more intimate and brighten the mood even on difficult sports days. Victory is Arsenal’s sweetest victory factor!
The club’s dog Win also takes part in official events – like here, at the Arsenal women’s photo shoot
The dog’s cheerful nature is meant to spread his love to everyone in the club.
Arteta explained: “I chose the dog very carefully. I think he perfectly represents who we are as Arsenal at the moment. His name is Win. We all love winning – and Win needs a lot of love. The love of Win and winning, that’s basically the feeling I want.”
Victory (at the feet of coach Arteta) was also allowed in the Arsenal star’s team photo
Labrador’s plan worked perfectly!
Arteta: “The reaction from the players and staff was incredible – he is one of us. He will accompany us on this journey. Win can change your mood in an instant. He gives you all his love. It’s beautiful.”

Everyone at Arsenal thinks so too: the men’s stars, but also the Champions League winners in the women’s team, always spend time with Win. You give and receive a lot of love – and also necessary distractions in difficult phases.
Win is now so popular that recently he was even allowed to be included in the Gunners team photo. And: An Arsenal fan shop is selling an adorable toy that looks like the club’s dog with a red club colored collar.
