Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has outlined his expectations ahead of his side’s UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg encounter against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday night.

Arteta’s team goes into the fixture following a 1-0 win over Newcastle United in the Premier League last weekend.

Speaking during his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, the Spaniard was asked about his expectations for Atletico Madrid.

He said, “A really tough match. They are a team that has so much experience in the competition, that have every right to be here, because what they have done is remarkable.

“We know the difficulty of the match, but I think we have shown in Europe, in any ground, what we are capable of.

“We have been very consistent, and tomorrow we have to play with that confidence, with that desire and that will, to come here to win the game.”
