Quote: “We will, of course, prepare to try and win, as we did [against Atalanta].

To do that, we’ll need to improve in many areas compared to the match against Atalanta. There are some things we did exceptionally well tonight, and we’ll need to do them again. We all know we need to perform better if we want to beat them. We are going there to win,” Arteta told The Guardian.
