With a Champions League quarter-final second leg against Sporting CP and a potential Premier League title decider against Manchester City looming, Arteta emphasized the need for his team to seize the moment and capitalize on their opportunities.
Despite a recent run of three defeats in four matches, Arteta expressed his confidence in his team's ability to bounce back and make history. He acknowledged the challenges ahead but stressed that his team is well-equipped to overcome them.
