Arsenal prepare to face Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final at the Puskas Arena in Budapest. Mikel Arteta frames the match as a chance to write a new chapter for the club, emphasizing that the squad’s hunger has been sharpened by decades of waiting. Arsenal return to the final for the first time since 2006, when they lost to Barcelona. Arteta rejects the idea that winning the Premier League reduces pressure, insisting the ambition is to win a second trophy. He says preparation has been focused and positive, and that Arsenal must earn the right to win by performing with clarity, courage, and determination.
"“I think it is the opportunity to own the moment because, as you said, it is the second time in our history that we are here and we have the opportunity tomorrow to write a new chapter in the history of this football club,” Arteta said. “In order to do that, we have to play tomorrow with such clarity, a lot of courage and a relentless desire to win. If we have those three aspects, I am sure we are going to be close to winning.”"
"“No, the ambition is bigger, we have one and we want the second one. That is all we have been talking about. There has to be a platform to reach bigger destinations and to aim for more. The team is capable because they have shown it in the last seasons, this competition, what we have done this season in the competition, and then I want the players to be so confident that we are going to go and do it.”"
"“The preparation has been really good, really focused, really positive. We are here because we earned the right to be here. In the manner that we have played and performed in the competition, and tomorrow on that field we are going to have to earn the right to go and win the trophy.”"
