“We know what’s at stake”: Gyokeres rallies Gunners for Atletico semi as Emirates set for thunderous decider

Viktor Gyokeres has said Arsenal know what is at stake as the Gunners face Atletico Madrid in the Champions League semi-finals tonight.

Arsenal welcome Atletico Madrid to North London for the second leg of their semi-final tie. The clash is perfectly poised after a 1-1 draw in the Spanish capital last week, and Arsenal will hope to make home advantage count at the Emirates.

The Gunners have reached theChampions League final just once before, two decades ago. Gyokeres, who scored in the first leg and twice against Fulham at the weekend, is relishing the opportunity.

"It's amazing to play this game at home. We know what's at stake, and of course, we have an amazing opportunity to have a great game tomorrow and to enjoy it with the supporters, but we have to do it on the pitch, and of course, with our amazing support, I think it can be a great night," he said at apre-game press conference.

"I think there’s a good feeling in the dressing room. I think we are very excited with every game that's coming now so it's just to prepare and to show that energy on the pitch."
