Ahead of Europa League quarter-final second leg game against CSKA Moscow (4-1) in a press-conference Arsenal's star Shkodran Mustafi talked about upcoming game and compared his club with FC Barcelona. FC Barcelona was knocked out of Champions League quarter-final by Roma's remarkable comeback, after Barca's victory with 4-1 at Camp Now.
“I think it came as perfect timing for us, to see that it is football, you are never safe especially when you win at home and have the away game. You have to be very careful how you show up and I think the game we saw was perfect timing for us to show us that we have to be really focused and really concentrated to finish off the job we did in the first leg," said Mustafi.
''I did watch it, I thought Roma did a brilliant job. It isn't easy when you lose the first game 4-1, especially against Barcelona, a team who can always score. I think they did a brilliant job but it is nothing that surprises me. Now I have been a few years in professional football and I know this happens often," concluded player.
