Mikel Arteta believes Arsenal are on the right track to major trophies as they prepare for the start of their Champions League campaign and a massive Premier League duel with champions Manchester City, live on Sky Sports.
The Gunners began a massive seven days with a big win over north London rivals Tottenham last Sunday, but the obstacles continue for Arteta and his team, who travel to Atalanta for their Champions League debut on Thursday evening before facing league leaders City on Super Sunday.
Arsenal are still looking for their first Champions League victory, and their wait for the Premier League title dates back to the 2003/04 season. Arteta, who has led the club to back-to-back league runners-up finishes, is confident that his side is on the right track as they look to bring silverware to the Emirates Stadium.
“There is a huge alignment [at the club],” Arteta told Sky Sports in an interview before the north London derby.
“First, emotionally because there is a big attachment at the football club from the people that are running it.
“Secondly, we are all still highly motivated and emotional about what is coming next.
“The focus is firmly on how we can continue to be better, continue to improve and try to deliver what a lot of our supporters are waiting for.”
