LONDON, Sept 20 — Mikel Arteta has told his Arsenal players to make “beautiful memories” on their return to the Champions League after a six-year absence.It will be the Gunners’ first game in Europe’s elite club competition since they were thrashed by Bayern Munich in the last 16 in 2017.
“Proud and excited. We’ve been fighting for it and now we’ve got it,” Arteta told reporters on Tuesday. But the chance to advance to the latter stages of the Champions League — a competition they have never won — is a major incentive for Arsenal this season. “When I have the job that I have, I have the responsibility to try to bring the club to the biggest stages, to the biggest tournament and then be fighting for them.”While Arsenal are not among the favourites to win the competition given the lack of Champions League experience among the likes of Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and William Saliba, the Gunners boss wants his players to learn quickly.
“I understand the questions and I understand what happened, but for me there is nothing different,” Arteta said.“As a manager it is my job to do as I feel and what I feel always is the best for the team and the club.”
