Arsenal face a tough challenge to turn around a two-goal
deficit at the Camp Nou on Wednesday but defender Laurent
Koscielny believes his side have nothing to lose.
Due to the significant margin achieved in London by the
Catalans, the French international admits that there are not
the same expectations for his side going into the game.
“It is obvious that we do not have the same pressure as we
did in the first leg.”
That said, Koscielny is not keen to throw in the towel and
says his side must battle until the very last ball is kicked.
“If you are not prepared to fight against Barça they will end
up beating you because they have extraordinary players. We
must be very alert and believe in our chances,” said the 30-
year-old.
Arsenal have fallen off the pace of late which has led to
them losing ground in the Premier League title race and just
last weekend were knocked out of the FA Cup by Watford in
the quarter finals.
As a result, Koscielny feels it is crucial that his side show
face against Barça to get the team spirit and confidence
back ahead of the season run-in.
“We want to get back to our normal level against Barça and
for the remainder of the season. We will fight until the end.”
