Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has outlined what it will take to overcome Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final. The Gunners are into the last-eight of European football’s elite club competition for a second time in successive seasons after overcoming PSV Eindhoven 9-3 on aggregate.

Mikel Arteta has set his sights on Arsenal challenging for the Champions League after falling so far behind Liverpool in the Premier League title race. They are all but through to a quarter-final tie against either Real Madrid or Atlético Madrid after their record breaking 7-1 first leg win away to PSV Eindhoven.

As the lights go out on Arsenal’s title challenge what’s most concerning about a third failure in as many years is that the club appear to be going backwards.
