Before the UEFA Champions League season began, London "Arsenal" head coach Mikel Arteta was asked about his team's chances of finishing in first place in the tournament.

"Of course, it's not easy. You always want to achieve this goal and be as good as possible.

I clearly feel that my players want to improve every day. We need to create energy and belief among the players and a sense that they can compete against any level of opponent.

That has been our goal since the very beginning of the season, but of course, we all understand that we have a long journey ahead. The teams are almost of equal strength and right from the first day, we need to be in the best sporting form to have the biggest chance," said M. Arteta.

In the first round, the "Gunners" will face Bilbao "Athletic" away.
