“The only thing that we discussed over the last three days was that we're coming here to win,” he said, as quoted by Arsenal.com. “It's not only about going through, it's in the manner that we have to do it in, because we are capable of doing it. Setting those demands and that mindset is very important for the team.
“ I think it shows the capacity of the team, that against any opponent, when we are at our best, we can perform. Especially with adversity and a lot of players that are not even involved here. The way we are doing it, I think it's special.”

Arsenal will face Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final, the team they played and beat 2-0 in the group stage at the Emirates Stadium.
