Arsenal Aiming To Rewrite UEFA Champions League History
UEFA Champions League: Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta urged his side to rewrite UEFA Champions League history as they begin their campaign on Tuesday. Arsenal has never won the UCL trophy; their last appearance in the finals of the tournament came in 2006 against FC Barcelona.
"Well that tells you, with our long history, how difficult it is because we haven't won it yet and that's the opportunity. That's how I see it, but pressure is the opportunity that drives that energy and that willingness to be better every single day. Every decision has to be with that standard and with those expectations, so let's give our best chance to try to do it.
"The big clubs (who have won it), they try seven, eight, nine times and they maybe win two. So in this competition it's going to be one that you fail much more than you succeed. That's the nature of it. That's the history of our club and that's what we want to change," said Arteta in the pre-game conference.
