 If there's a player who can do it, how clean he strikes it, it's Declan, said Arteta. 
|
That's the beauty of this sport, said Arteta. He'd never scored a free kick. He can do it, how he strikes the ball, how clean. But then you have to execute it at the highest level against the best keeper in the world.
|
Declan had an issue with his foot, I don't know if it was a tackle, Arteta said. With Bukayo, after he got tackled, he got a knock and he had to go… It doesn't look serious.
|
He's in a much better place, said Arteta of the winger. Gradually we have built his minutes in the last six or seven days.
|
We were very far from qualifying for the Champions League when I joined, said Arteta. So we could forget about playing in a quarter-final two years in a row for the first time in 15 years.
|
In knockout stages, set pieces usually account for 33% of the goals scored, said Arteta. It will be crucial for us, of course, but also for them; they scored against Valencia from a set piece.
|
It's going to be a big one and we are very excited about it, Arteta said.
|
He's in a much better place, Arteta said. Gradually we have built his minutes in the last six or seven days.
|
There are things that we cannot control, Arteta said. What they [Real Madrid] are going to prepare, what they can do. Obviously the intention of the team is very clear, we want to achieve tomorrow and we are going to go for it.
|
It looks like it [everyone is available], Arteta said.
|
It looks like it [everyone is available that was involved at the weekend], Arteta said. We have another training session this afternoon.
|
I think Andrea is a big addition to the club, a big addition to the team, a team that is already formed with a lot of great people, Arteta said.
