Unai Emery has warned Arsenal fans to be ‘realistic’ following 3-2 defeat against Real Madrid.

And now Unai Emery advises fans to focus on the quality of the game to reduce that gap and be more competitive. He warned: "We need to be realistic because the distance between City and Liverpool to us is a lot of points. "We need to reduce that gap and be more competitive. "And to do that we need to improve defensively without losing any of our offensive qualities. "I think we progressed last season but it was not enough to achieve our top target of getting back into the Champions League.
