Aiming to defeat Girona, Arteta: We will send out a strong lineup

The Gunners Arsenal will travel to Girona in the 8th round of the 2024/25 UEFA Champions League, and Arteta said that he will send a strong lineup to deal with this game and will make victory the only goal.

In the last round of the Champions League, Arsenal relied on Rice, Havertz and Odegaard to break the opponent's goal and finally defeated Dinamo Zagreb 3-0. After 7 rounds of games, with 5 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, Arsenal is currently ranked third in the standings with 16 points, so the Gunners only need to remain unbeaten to advance to the round of 16.

Arsenal manager Arteta said at a press conference, "Our goal here is to win the game. In order to do that, we have to be better than our opponents. Girona is a very good team. If you observe their games against top opponents in the Champions League, they can always cause a lot of trouble for their opponents."

"We will send a very strong team to achieve our goal because statistically, our qualification is not yet completely certain."

Arteta also said, "We have become more stable and have a better understanding that it is extremely difficult to win and suppress the opponent in the Champions League, and we will face a very strong opponent and need to play well to beat them."

"Every game is different in terms of circumstances and context. We come here to get what we need from the game and the team's goal is to win the game. From the first minute, the team's attitude and determination is to go all out for victory, and hopefully we can win the game smoothly."
