Arsenal is set to face Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final second leg, holding a commanding 3-0 lead.
Mikel Arteta’s side is looking to book a spot in the semi-final, where they could face PSG. Arteta has made it clear that his team is focused on winning the game, rather than just protecting their lead.
“The mindset and conviction is that we are here to win the game,” Arteta said in an interview with TNT Sports.
“That’s the most important thing, and that we play with courage and determination, taking the game that we want.”
Arteta’s message to his players is clear, they need to earn the right to reach the semi-final by playing with conviction and determination.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid’s players are exuding confidence, with Jude Bellingham mentioning the word “Remontada” (comeback) in the dressing room.
Vinicius Jr. also posted a message on Instagram, seemingly ready to put in a big performance.
However, given Arsenal’s dominance in the first leg, it would be an astonishing feat for Real Madrid to overcome the deficit.
