Eighth in the standings with 10 points on the clock and currently qualified for the final phase, the Principality club is impressing on the European scene and establishing itself as a formidable team that can produce sparkling performances at any time.
Present at a pre-match press conference this Tuesday, Mikel Arteta did not fail to compliment the French team and admitted to being impressed by the work done by the Monegasques at the start of the season.
“Monaco impresses me. It’s really a great team. You saw their series in the Champions League and Ligue 1, especially against big teams. It’s a real threat, super well organized training, very intense, strong in transitions. Monaco has a lot of qualities, it will be a real test for us on Wednesday,” he blurted.
Before continuing his remarks:“It’s true that with Paris, I played against them. There is also a very good link (with Arsenal) with Arsène Wenger and Thierry Henry. There’s a lot of history, it’s a very special club, a special place. We are excited to welcome them, hoping to be better than them and beat them. »
In the event of a victory or a draw at the Emirates Stadium, ASM would at least ensure its place in the Champions League play-offs.
