Mikel Arteta has said he hopes Arsenal will be in the "right place in the right moment" in Paris as they look to secure a place in the Champions League final.

Mikel Arteta is feeling a little sore lately. He now has to take his team up to Anfield, where party mode is in full swing for Liverpool — but Pep Guardiola has already told him what to do. The bitterness of finishing second (at best) for a third straight season does seem to be grating on the Arsenal manager.

Mikel Arteta said winning trophies is about being in the right place at the right time after he pointed out that Liverpool have secured the Premier League title with fewer points than Arsenal amassed over the last two seasons. The Gunners finished runners-up to Manchester City last season with 89 points.
