Arsenal are in the hat for tonight's FA Cup semi-final draw after beating Lincoln City 5-0 in the quarters.
They will face one of Manchester City, Tottenham or Manchester United/Chelsea at Wembley for a place in the final.
We’re just delighted that we’ve got another trip to Wembley
And Ramsey is delighted the Gunners are still in the competition after slipping out of the title race and exiting the Champions League 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich.
“Of course [it’s a big boost to beat Lincoln],” Ramsey told Arsenal Player.
“We’re disappointed to be out of the Champions League but I love this competition.
“I’m delighted to be going back to Wembley and hopefully we can have something to look forward to and can get back to the final.”

Arsenal lost 10-2 on aggregate to Bayern Munich in the Champions League
Lincoln beat two Championship clubs and Premier League side Burnley to reach Saturday's quarter-final at the Emirates - but the non-league side were outdone by top-four chasing Arsenal.
“Full credit to Lincoln,” Ramsey said.
“They’ve had an absolutely amazing FA Cup run. They showed that in the first half, they were difficult to break down - very well-organised - and it’s no surprise that they’re top of their league.
“We’re just delighted that we’ve got another trip to Wembley.”
