Arteta hopes players will maintain a winning mentality and create club history

Arsenal will travel to face Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, and coach Mikel Arteta wants his players to maintain a winning mentality and strive to create club history.

In the first leg, Arsenal beat Real Madrid 3-0 at home. However, the second leg will be played at Real Madrid's home ground, where the team has created many miracles, and Arsenal may be overtaken. At the pre-match press conference, Arteta showed the team's confidence.

Arteta said: "We came here with the goal of winning. Just like we did in London, our preparations are still focused on what we have to do in the game, including the phases and rhythm we need to control to ensure we have a good chance of winning the game."

Real Madrid has won 15 Champions League titles. Facing such a strong opponent, Arteta admitted that emotional management is very important for players. Arteta said: "I understand the impact of emotions on the game, especially against a team like Real Madrid."

"They have a rich history of comebacks and deserve the expectations from the outside world. But our way of thinking is different. We are more focused on our preparation, strategy, and how to do better than them in key links. They will try to bring the game to a rhythm they are familiar with, and we must persist, so that we have a chance to win."

When asked by reporters whether he was eager to create new history, Arteta answered without hesitation: "To write your own story, first you have to be excited about the process, and secondly, you have to be fully prepared and pursue your goals unswervingly."

"Arsenal's history did not come out of thin air, but was built step by step. We had experience last year and we hope to do better this year. If we can advance to the semi-finals, it will be the third time in our team's history that we have reached the Champions League semi-finals."
