Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Tuesday's Champions League game against Atletico Madrid at Emirates Stadium (kick-off 20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Arteta confirmed Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard were both fit to feature for the Gunners, stating: "Yes, they are in the squad both of them. We need options, and we need the capacity to play a different game tomorrow, whether it is from the start or after. It is really good news to have them back."
Arteta said "these are the moments we want to live together" and that the club had worked over 20 years to return as a heavyweight in European football. He explained: "I can't wait. We are so hungry to get the game that we want tomorrow and to go through to the final. We know the game we are going to be playing tomorrow. Be prepared, be ready, be quality and deliver on the day."
Arteta believes Bukayo Saka can "make the difference" for Arsenal in the Champions League as the 24-year-old returned from injury in the 3-0 victory over Fulham. Arteta said: “That is what we need when we arrive at this stage in the competition. To have the players not only be available, but to be in top condition to perform and make the difference. Bukayo certainly gives us that.”
On the final message to players and fans: "Go and grab it. When you're in for such an opportunity, it means you are ready to deliver. The team is going to go from the first minute to try to get that. Huge excitement. It is difficult to explain the desire to live that moment. They have been waiting for so long to have this kind of night. Push hard tomorrow because something amazing is going to happen."
On visualising the end goal: "I did it many years ago. The thing that I had in my mind for this club. You can never promise to win major trophies, but you can promise to work every single day with ambition. Be determined with ideas and decisions you take to bring this club to being one of the best clubs in Europe."
When asked about the possibility of Myles Lewis-Skelly featuring, the Arsenal boss said the Gunners "need players in a great emotional state, as I think that determines the rest".
On having no regrets: "The first word [regret] I never like to put into such a big night. It is about what we want to happen and what we are going to do. That is the things we have been discussing. What I see every single day is they are giving me the reason to believe to trust these players and be convinced that we can do it. In any context, against any opponent."
On fans meeting the bus and a planned tifo in the stadium: "I don't think there is a message that is needed. What is at stake says it all. It is the occasion. it is the moment, it is the game."
On being relaxed: "I will sleep well for sure. I am used to working these type of hours, so there is no change."
