Danny Welbeck has insisted that Arsenal will put their past Champions League failures behind them when they take on Monaco on Wednesday evening.
The Gunners have been eliminated from the competition at the last-16 stage in the past four seasons but head into the tie against Monaco in superb form.
Welbeck has spoken ahead of the tie and he insists that he and his team-mates are not looking back at their past failures and believes they can reach the quarter-finals for the first time since 2010.
“It is not something that comes into discussion,” he told reporters at a pre-match press conference. “You can’t be looking into the past too much about what you could have done, it is about making things right and learning from that experience and taking it into the next game.
“We know that it’s going to be a tough tie for us, it’s going to be played over two legs so we’re not just going to be focused on this one. But obviously getting the right result will set us up nicely for the next tie.
“It starts from game one. You know every single game means a lot and you have to try to get the best out of each match and get the win on the day.”
