Mikel Arteta urges Arsenal to be 'bold and brave' against Real Madrid - as he insists the Gunners will play to WIN in Spain despite 3-0 aggregate lead

Mikel Arteta has roared on his Arsenal side to be ‘bold and brave’ when they face-off against Real Madrid at the intimidating Bernabeu tonight.

The Gunners go into this Champions League quarter-final second-leg tie with a 3-0 advantage, spearheaded by Declan Rice’s two stunning free-kick goals at the Emirates last Tuesday in the first leg.

The north London club are seeking to revive their season by reaching the semi-finals of this competition for the first time since 2009, where they would face either Aston Villa or PSG who also play tonight.
