Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, and midfielder Jorginho took part in a press conference at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Monday afternoon. The Spaniard discussed the home side: "Given the special nights that have been enjoyed here, the experience and sense of identity at the club is very obvious. There have been changes under the new coach, but the ambition remains. Tomorrow we will try to dominate the game and beat them." Asked more about Diego Alonso's style of management, Arteta admitted he was impressed with our performance last Saturday: "I really liked what I saw against Real Madrid. There were many phases of play, yet all the players knew exactly what they needed to do and executed it. I'm sure they will play in a similar vein tomorrow."
Meanwhile, Jorginho spoke about his expectations ahead of the match: "We're aware we are very facing a very good team, one that has delivered when it matters most on the European stage in recent years. The atmosphere will be electric and I think it will be a good game and a real test for us."
