Mikel Arteta highlighted the unique and historic opportunity that Arsenal faces as they approach the Champions League semifinals against Paris Saint-Germain. Aiming for their first Champions League title, Arteta encouraged his players to focus on the present moment and channel their historical aspirations into performance. Despite the pressure of their past, he emphasized the importance of mindset and self-awareness on the pitch. However, they will face the challenge without midfielder Thomas Partey due to suspension, following a strong quarterfinal performance against Real Madrid.
"You feel it, especially because we have, fortunately, a lot of people that have worked in the club for many, many years, and they've never been in this position."
"Play with that mindset and let yourself go. They know everything now is about, OK, where are the limits and how far I'm able and how far I want to go."
