Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has been talking ahead of the club’s crunch-game with Marseille in the Champions League this Tuesday and the Spaniard has admitted that the players have done beautiful things so far this season.
The Gunners became the first team to beat German giants Borussia Dortmund in Germany last month thanks to an Aaron Ramsey goal, and that victory came just months after they also beat Bayern Munich in Germany.
Arsene Wenger’s men were drawn into the group of death this season alongside Napoli, Marseille and Dortmund, but so far, they have seen off them all and with just two games left, they are currently topping the group.
They will host Marseille on Tuesday and Cazorla understands how tough the competition is but he believes the player are capable of doing anything this season.
“We are aware that we can do beautiful things, that we can do important things,” the Spaniard said. “Last year we went out having won 2-0 at Bayern Munich and this means we are a lot more excited this year about the Champions League.
“[The competition] is difficult to win. At the end of the day we have a good team, we’re going through a good patch but in this competition there are the best teams in the world. If you have a bad day you will be out of the tournament.
“It’s the best and most consistent team that is going to win. We’re aware that in order to win the Champions League we have to work hard and beat the biggest teams.”
