Thomas Partey said Arsenal will go to Real Madrid “with the mentality to win” despite holding a 3-0 first-leg lead in their Champions League quarter-final.
The Gunners’ hopes of providing a Premier League title contest in the closing stages of the season were banished with a 1-1 draw against Brentford on Saturday which left them 13 points behind leaders Liverpool with just 18 to play for across the remaining six matches.
Mikel Arteta’s players will now turn their attention to Europe and their trip to the Bernabeu.
However, Partey, who opened the scoring against Brentford but is an injury doubt for the return fixture in Spain on Wednesday, insisted Arsenal will not sit on their advantage.
