While Diego Simeone is trying to ratchet up a lot of noise around Arsenal, Mikel Arteta has been quietly repeating the same message over the past few days. He has reminded his players they have a home game to get to a Champions League final. The biggest fixture of their club careers, from the most familiar environment.
“It's amazing to play this game at home,” Viktor Gyokeres said of the second leg. “We know what's at stake, and of course, we have an amazing opportunity.” A staff member went even further, stating, “You wouldn’t have it any other way.”
