Arsenal boss, Mikel Arteta, has revealed what he expects from Atletico Madrid when both sides clash in the Champions League semi-final first leg tie on Wednesday night.

Arteta’s side head to the game following a 1-0 victory against Newcastle United in the Premier League last weekend.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Tuesday, Arteta was asked what he is expecting from Atletico Madrid.

The Spaniard 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.”
