LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea striker Olivier Giroud said it will be special to face his former side Arsenal in the Europa League final, but added that there will be no room for sentiment on the pitch when the two London clubs clash in Baku.
Chelsea needed extra time and a 4-3 penalty shootout against Eintracht Frankfurt to progress from their semi-final on Thursday, while Arsenal comfortably beat Valencia 7-3 on aggregate.
The 32-year-old is hoping that it will be third-time lucky when the two sides meet in the final on May 29. "It was not my best game but I always try and give everything to the team. I will work the same in training as usual to show the coach I am still ready," he said.
