On Tuesday evening, the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals will begin, where London’s Arsenal will face Lisbon’s Sporting.

Just recently, the Gunners were in contention for four titles, but in the last two matches, Arsenal lost in the English League Cup final and were eliminated in the FA Cup by Southampton.

However, before the match with Sporting, Arsenal's manager Mikel Arteta stated that there is no panic within the team.

"There is no panic in the team. Instead of panic, we need to understand what has caused our recent losses. This will help us be better in the remaining stages of the season.

We need to realize how much we have done to be here. We didn’t deserve to lose the last two matches, but sometimes that happens.

Now we are hungrier than ever and very motivated for the upcoming match against Sporting,” said M. Arteta.
