Arsenal faces Atletico Madrid in their second consecutive Champions League semi-final. Manager Mikel Arteta emphasized his team's readiness to seize this opportunity after last season's exit.
"It's a massive privilege to be here again," Arteta stated. "We're going to grab it with both hands. You're going to see a team that wants to be dominant, that wants to win."
The Gunners are the only unbeaten team in this season's Champions League, having previously defeated Atletico 4-0 in the league phase. Arteta acknowledged the challenge but expressed confidence in his squad's European performance.
"We have shown in Europe, in any ground, what we are capable of," he said. "We have to play with that confidence, with that desire, and that will to come here to win the game."
