Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has warned his team that they “have to” match the perfect record they set in the league phase of the Champions League in their round of 16 tie with Bayer Leverkusen.
The Gunners won all eight of their matches in the first round of the competition and didn’t trail for a second, scoring 23 goals and conceding just eight. It was put to Arteta that these results, coupled with their status as Premier League leaders, should see them rated as one of the best clubs on the continent.
