Arsenal manager, Unai Emery, has said he is prepared to attack in Valencia when they travel for their Europa League semi-final second leg next week.
The Gunners travel to Spain having won 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium in Thursday’s opening leg.
Alexandre Lacazette netted a first-half brace to cancel out Mouctar Diakhaby’s early opener for the visitors, with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang adding a third in the final minute.
Emery’s men will qualify for the final in Baku on May 29, if they concede fewer than two goals at the Mestalla.
“We need to play there thinking to win, thinking to score, thinking to take our moment in attack.
“They are going to feel strong with their supporters there. Aubameyang and Lacazette played very well.
“We managed to get in dangerous situations near their goal, and in the first half towards the end, we got in four to five times out wide.
“The game was played in strange circumstances given how it started…there were moments where we got things right and times when we didn’t, and they could have scored in the second half,” Emery told BT Sport.
