He has always spoken highly about Wenger’s influence in his life and his role in his development and that is why feels it is imperative that Arsenal provide him the farewell that Arsene so richly deserves for everything that he has done for him and everyone that Wenger has impacted during his time at the club.
All the positivity around the Emirates makes one feel that this might be the year Arsenal will really pull it off, and the French International has set his sights on it. It won’t be easy though, as Arsenal need to be in full flow to get a result against Simeone and co. In any case, it will definitely be a game of high intensity, emotion as a place in the finals and a chance to right so many wrongs is up for grabs.
