Arsenal
Gabriel Martinelli: “I’ve always said I’m really happy here at Arsenal. This is my home. I love to be here. I love the club. The club has given me so much”.
Gabriel Martinelli: “We have this dream, we believe we can win the Champions League. This club has never won this title. The club deserves to have it. It’s one of the biggest clubs in the world. We’re really happy to be involved in this moment”.
Mikel Arteta: “Riccardo Calafiori is still not fit. Mikel Merino and Ben White were able to train with us today, let’s see if they can start tomorrow (vs PSG)”.
Arteta: “We are making history and we want more. From the fans we need even more, than Madrid! I’m not exaggerating. Bring your boots, your shorts, t-shirt, let’s play every ball together. You want to do something special? That place has to be something we haven’t seen”.
EXCLUSIVE: Arsenal will hold talks with 18-goal target soon. More details!
Barcelona
Barça president Laporta confirms talks for Hansi Flick’s new deal: “Flick knows that we want this phase to last as long as possible. Hansi prefers short-term contracts, renewing year by year, and that’s evident from his current contract”.
Pedri: “Since Rodri won the Ballon d'Or, it has become clear that a player who controls the midfield and dictates the tempo of the game can win this award. It has always been my dream to win the Ballon d'Or, but right now my focus is on team trophies”.
Pedri: “Hansi Flick is like a father to us. He always tries to take care of us. He's there to support you if you're not playing, and he always tries to help you. He looks strict from the outside, but he always stand by us when going through a bad time”.
Hansi Flick’s new deal agreement remains matter of details, it will happen and it will be sorted in May. No changes: Flick wants to stay, Barça want to extend and the new contract will be valid until June 2027, one more year.
