- Arteta wants Arsenal to try to ‘dominate’ in Europe
Real Madrid’s history has loomed large with its epic comebacks but now it is time for Arsenal to write their own, Mikel Arteta says. For all the noise and the narrative, for all that many have crumbled here against the European champions, the Arsenal manager insisted there is no fear and that his team are ready to step into the Bernabéu.
Arteta reminded everyone of a simple fact lost at times over the past seven days: they do lead this tie, 3‑0. “If I had to pick one of the scenarios that I want the most, it would be this one,” he said.
