Mikel Arteta has urged Arsenal to embrace the pain of recent defeats and use it as motivation ahead of their crucial Champions League clash with Sporting CP.
The Gunners head into the quarter-final under mounting pressure after back-to-back losses, including a disappointing result against Southampton.
Despite the setback, Arteta insisted his side remain focused and determined to respond on the European stage.
As reported by BBC Sport on Monday, Arteta was quoted as saying, “Have some perspective about how difficult it is what we have done until now.
“Feel the pain, feel the emotion and use it to be better and improve.”
However, Arteta remains defiant, urging his players to confront their recent struggles head-on rather than shy away from them.
