Arsenal have no fear of facing Real Madrid at the Bernabeu and will play to win the game despite already holding a 3-0 advantage from the first leg, according to Mikel Arteta.

Last week's victory at the Emirates Stadium, secured by Declan Rice's free-kicks and Mikel Merino's third goal, has put Arsenal in a commanding position but Real Madrid are optimistic of another famous European comeback.

Arteta admitted it is "impossible" for his players to shut out the noise from the Champions League holders given their history of comebacks at the Bernabeu, but he is determined that his players will approach the task of reaching only the third Champions League semi-final in the club's history with excitement rather than fear.
