Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned that his team will play like "beasts" against Atletico Madrid as they aim to reach the Champions League final for the first time since 2006. Speaking ahead of Tuesday's semi-final second leg at the Emirates Stadium, Arteta said, "We will take to the pitch as beasts tomorrow and enjoy the moment and go for it." Arsenal earned a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Madrid last week. Captain Martin Odegaard is available after missing Saturday's win over Fulham, while Kai Havertz returns from a knee injury. Arsenal have never won the Champions League.
Key Points:
- Arsenal are one step away from their first Champions League final in 20 years.
- The Gunners lost to PSG in the semi-finals last season and are hungry for more.
- Arteta says the team has worked hard to be in this position again.
- Odegaard and Havertz return to boost Arsenal's attacking options.
- Arteta is confident "something amazing is going to happen."
