Arsenal leader Mikel Arteta said his side is “ready to write his own history” after in the first part of the quarterfinals this season in the first part of this season’s quarterfinals in the first part of this season in the first part of this season.
Arsenal continued to win against Los Blancos, eliminating them in the last 16 at their only previous meeting in 2006, with stunning performance and the result in the Emirates, which Paul Merson marked the best in 19-year history of the stadium.
Speaking after winning 3-0, Arthtea left a little doubt about the size of the results.
“When you haven’t played against this team for 20 years, you haven’t had the right race in this competition, you have to be ready to write your own history,” he said.
“It’s a night like this, you can write your own history. She came from the collective and individual qualities of our players. And now we have a lot more to give.”
Artea sounded caution, repeatedly reminding her players – and the wider world – it’s still “half -time” in a tie ahead of the second week in Bernabeu.
“We will enjoy the victory, but we know it is halftime and we will have to be even better in Madrid,” he added. “I was very convinced (that could happen). I could feel the construction so we could create a lot of problems.
Rice scored two astonishing free kicks
“But you have to do it. If you have that way of thinking and believing, it can happen, you can deliver it. We did it, but it’s just half -time.”
Arsenal chief said that both the collective performance of his side and “moments of magic” were the difference in the night, and emphasized the double Declana Rice – his first direct goals of free kicks – but revealed that his skill of the dead ball was long in the workmanship.
“Declan was very determined because in the last few months we said that we had not achieved a direct free kick in three and a half years,” he said.
“So, to score two goals in 12 minutes of that size and that quality from the same player, a player who never scored a free kick in his career, what are the chances?
“This night was all about two factors; one is the atmosphere we created 15 minutes before the start of something I didn’t see. And then magic, individual moments that decide all the matches. And the first two goals from Declan summarize the night.”

Acelotti: We fought physically and mentally
Carlo Ancelotti pulled several blows to evaluate the effect of his team after scoring three goals in 17 minutes to give Real Madrid a huge task next week on home soil in the second part.
The head of the veterans, who, as a manager, won several Champions League medals than anyone else, admitted that Real failed to react after he laged for Rice’s dual for free kicks – and remained to look at frustrated because they failed to answer after the third Mike Merino.
“It was very difficult for us. We thought the team was strongly entering the game, in the first half we were organized,” he said.
“Then after two goals we received from free kicks, the team fought mentally and physically. The level fell.
“It was difficult, the game ended that way. Usually this team raises its game to the end of the game, she was disappointing and poor.
“We have to be critical of ourselves and do everything we can next week to recover.”
Considering Real’s return record in Europe in recent years, the questions will be asked whether they can produce another historic night in Bernabeu next week, but Ancelotti has little recorded expectations that his side will progress to the semifinals after such a first leg.
“The possibilities are quite low, but we have to try 100 percent and do everything we can,” he said.
“It’s an opportunity to show a response to a clean game.”
