Mikel Arteta expresses confidence in Arsenal's energy levels ahead of their Champions League match against PSV, emphasizing the unique atmosphere and stakes of the competition. Even with poor Premier League performance and injuries, he believes the allure of the Champions League will invigorate his team. Despite being eliminated from the FA Cup and falling behind in the league standings, Arteta focuses on why the tournament offers a different dynamic and expects his players to rise to the occasion based on past encounters with PSV.
"It's a game that obviously brings a different energy, keeps everyone on their toes," Arteta told reporters in Eindhoven.
"You play and you are in or you are out and that gives you urgency and it gets the best out of you for sure."
"Whatever the situation in the league when you come to this stage of the Champions League it's something else, you feel it in the atmosphere and the energy."
"Results vary in football, what I care about is how they play; focusing on their weaknesses and how to beat them."
