Written by Arsenal has really tried so far to reach where they have reached in the Champions League group stage matches. There are only two matches that are remaining for the group stage to be over. Arsenal will play one of those matches today and it is a must win for the Gunners.
The Arsenal players know very well that they need to win this game by all means if they want to qualify directly for the round of 16. The players have done a tremendous job to reach this far and they cannot bottle it by giving themselves a hard time of going for the playoffs.
The Arsenal players also know very well that, if they do not win the match, then they are the ones who will mount pressure on themselves. They do not want the pressure to continue increasing because it is already there.
They are very much aware that the club does not have a reliable squad depth now that many players are still out with injuries. If they stumble in this game, then it means that they may limited their chances of qualifying automatically for the next round and this may mean that they may even get another well prepared and strong team in the knockout stage.
Arsenal will also win this match because this is also a trophy that the Gunners are eyeing. They have all it takes and all games matter including the group stage games. The players will therefore show that they can also be counted among the title contenders for the Champions League.
The game will be played at the Emirates stadium and therefore, the players want to bring a smile back to the faces of the Arsenal fans after disappointing them against Aston Villa last weekend. A win in this game will be a perfect way to show love to the fans.
