Arsenal hosts Real Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie at the Emirates, and manager Mikel Arteta has declared war on the Spanish side.
The Gunners will take on the La Liga giants for the first time since 2006. The English side have made back-to-back quarterfinals in the UCL under Arteta, exiting at this stage against Bayern Munich last season.
According to Opta Stats, Arsenal have a higher opportunity than their more illustrious opponents, of making the semi-finals.
However, the magnitude of what is front of them is not lost on Arteta, and he has asked for the help of the fans, while expressing confidence in his team’s ability.
"8pm tomorrow night, 11 players, 60,000 people, really super convinced that we are ready to win and to beat them. That's the mindset that I want,” Mikel Arteta said ahead on tomorrow's game:
"The rest, be the team that we have been the last quarter of the season, with all the up and downs and things that we have to deal with, continue to do that because that's our super strength."

Mikel Arteta reveals this is the biggest night of his career
Arteta has been in charge of Arsenal since December 2019, in what is his first head coach role.
He was asked if the game against Real Madrid is the biggest of his career, and he had this to say.
"100 per cent. It is a joy to prepare the game, to look at them just to look at the reaction of people and how we feel about ourselves coming into the game of that magnitude,” he said during his press conference for the Real Madrid clash.
“The excitement around the club, the people, this is the stage we want to be, where Arsenal have to be consistently. We are very proud to be there and now we are very ready tomorrow to deliver."
