Mikel Arteta insists that their Arsenal players have “hunger” and “they want more” after having released the reigning champions of Real Madrid to reach the semifinals of the Champions League.
PSG is waiting for the Arteta side after the goals of Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli won a 2-1 victory at Bernabeu and the total victory of 5-1, as the Gunners produced a memorable sample on two legs.
Saka had previously seen his criminal penalty and Vinicius Junior leveled for real, but Arsenal experienced a surprisingly night without problems in the Spanish capital to reserve his place in the last four for the first time in a decade.

“We had all the belief that we were going to beat this (real) team and that we could dominate them. Then you have to do it and the players did it.”
The goal that put the nail in the coffin of Real Madrid!
