Mikel Arteta has made a passionate plea to his Arsenal team, urging them to show 'no fear' and 'pure fire' as they approach a crucial week in their season. With a Champions League quarter-final second leg against Sporting CP and a potential Premier League title decider at Manchester City looming, Arteta called on his players to seize the opportunity and make history.

Despite a recent run of three defeats in four matches, Arteta remains confident in his team's abilities and believes they have the talent and determination to succeed. He admitted to feeling 'on fire' himself, driven by his desire to bring success to the club. Arteta's rallying cry has been echoed by midfielder Eberechi Eze, who says the squad is focused on ignoring external noise and concentrating on their own performance.

Eze praised Arteta's passion and leadership, saying that the manager's 'fire' is evident in his eyes and has inspired the team to push for greatness.
