Arsenal defender Jakub Kiwior has urged his teammates to remain calm against Real Madrid in the second leg of the champions League quarter-finals clash.
The 15-time European Cup holders were picked apart at the Emirates in the first leg but are known for some iconic comebacks at the Santiago Bernabeu where the North London side will be hoping to keep their performance levels up and their European dreams alive.
Speaking with the club’s website, Kiwior stated that Arsenal must stay focused and capitalise on any mistakes from Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
“After the game I felt really good,” he said. “You know that after a game like that, there’s no other way, you just feel really good, but I still feel like it’s not over yet. The most difficult thing is still ahead of us. So I’m still cool-headed.

“I didn’t feel nervous. Of course, this was one of the biggest games in my career. But of course, I had the big game (against Kylian Mbappe) in the national team, but I was ready for everything, and I felt very good before the game.
“Every clean sheet is perfect for me, because this is my job on the pitch. Mbappe is very quick, he’s a very good player, one of the best strikers for this moment.
“I have to be ready for everything. Of course Gabi could’ve played this game but he’s injured, and I have to be ready for everything. I didn’t wait for this moment, but I hope he comes back very quick and we can train together fighting for the one position.”
