The correct answer is option 'A'. Arsenal has won two major European trophies.
The UEFA Cup Winners' Cup
- Arsenal won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in the 1993-1994 season. This tournament was a competition for domestic cup winners from European countries. Arsenal qualified for the tournament by winning the FA Cup in the previous season. They defeated Parma 1-0 in the final, with Alan Smith scoring the winning goal. This victory marked Arsenal's first major European trophy.
The UEFA Europa League
- Arsenal won the UEFA Europa League in the 2018-2019 season. The Europa League is a competition for clubs from across Europe, with teams qualifying based on their domestic league positions. Arsenal reached the final by defeating teams like Napoli and Valencia in the knockout stages. In the final, they faced Chelsea and emerged victorious with a 4-1 win. This victory secured Arsenal's second major European trophy.
In addition to these two major European trophies, Arsenal has also had success in domestic competitions such as the English Premier League and the FA Cup. They have won the Premier League title on three occasions (1997-1998, 2001-2002, and 2003-2004) and the FA Cup a record 14 times.
It is worth noting that major European trophies refer to continental competitions and exclude domestic competitions. While Arsenal has had success in domestic competitions, they have not been as successful on the European stage compared to some other clubs. However, their victories in the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup and the UEFA Europa League are significant achievements in their history.
