A final of big days between Chelsea and Arsenal is announced this evening. Maurizio Sarri and Unai Emery have prepared in the smallest detail the game that can bring them the Europa League trophy.
Chelsea and Arsenal give the final battle for the Europa League trophy. For Maurizio Sarri could be the last match on the "blue" bench: the Italian is on Juventus' list.
"Now we have to think only of the final. As you know very well, our feeling is that we deserve to win," Sarri said.
"We deserve to play the final, we did well in this competition and we feel we can achieve something important together," said Arsenal manager Unai Emery.
Arsenal players have arrived in Baku since Saturday to prepare the Chelsea duel for the best. In the Premier League, the two teams have split their victories this season.
"We feel very good, we do not know if it's a good thing or a bad thing we've been here for a long time than Chelsea." We prepared for ourselves to be ready to play, "Granit Xhaka said.
"It will be a top final. We want to repeat the 2013 performance and win out," David Luiz said.
"We are Chelsea and every season we fight for all the trophies. We have a final, we have a trophy to fight for," said Cesar Azpilicueta.
Unai Emery won the Europa League three times in a row with Sevilla
Unai Emery and Arsenal players offered unique pictures of the official training before the Chelsea final. The coach gathered his players in the middle of the pitch and spoke to them for more than five minutes. Emery is the specialist of the Europa League finals: he took the trophy with Sevilla three times in succession, between 2014 and 2016.
"I feel good, I feel that this is a new opportunity for us and for me. The most important goal for us is to win, we have the opportunity to take the trophy," Unai Emery said.
