Arsenal may not be convincing many that they are a team capable of winning the Premier League and Champions League double.
But Mikel Arteta called for perspective about what his side have already achieved this season.
"I wish that we were doing the Arsenal documentary this season," he said, referencing the behind-the-scenes film from the 2021-22 campaign.
"Please, enjoy where we are as a club. There's a lot of work behind it. We've done something that has never been done in the history of our club in 140 years, so that tells you the difficulty of that, and we had to do it in a very special way."
If Arsenal do go on to lift their first major trophy in six years – possibly their first Champions League – there won't be a single Gunners fan who cares about the performance in this game.
