Nacho Monreal is the latest man to join the bandwagon of players to complain about the final in Baku.
“It’s a very sad loss because I think you have to consider the players,” Monreal said. “In this sense, UEFA should be more careful and know where you choose a venue for a final. It is not possible that there are players who can not play for political reasons. I do not believe that things are done well when these kinds of circumstances occur.”
“It’s kind of sad,” the Spaniard continued. “It is news that we already knew since the group stage began. From that moment we already commented that in the event of reaching the final he would not be able to go because there are such differences between the two countries, Azerbaijan and Armenia.”
Arsenal reached the semi-finals of the tournament last year before eventually losing out to Atletico Madrid. They will want to go two better this year after having reached the final.
The players are in the zone it would seem and already the three time Europa League winning manager Unai Emery with Sevilla is now at the helm at the Emirates.
