Kieran Tierney ended the 2019/20 season in superb form, and the Scotland international picked up where he left off in the first game of 2020/21.
Arsenal beat Liverpool on penalties at Wembley on Saturday to win the Community Shield after a 1-1 draw, and former Celtic left-back Tierney impressed once again.
The 23-year-old said: "Coming into games like this we're starting to believe more and more and I think that's what it's all about, belief and spirit."
From the comments below, it's clear that Arsenal fans share that belief when it comes to Tierney.
