Villarreal striker Giuseppe Rossi is in no doubt that the Yellow Submarine can beat Arsenal and qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League.

The Gunners secured a 1-1 draw at El Madrigal last Tuesday but Rossi is confident that Villarreal can cause a shock in north London in the second leg.

He said: "I know all about playing Arsenal from my time at Manchester United and I'm sure their fans will be booing me because of that.

"But that's no problem to me because when I get stick I go even harder to get a goal.

"In any case, the atmosphere won't be a major influence. Fans in London are nothing like those in Athens and I'm looking forward to celebrating a goal there.

"We always seem to score on our travels and, if we get the first goal, I am convinced we will go through.

"We have studied every detail of this game. It's our match of the year and we aim to show Arsenal are not really superior to Villarreal.

"Other clubs in the Premier League have won at the Emirates Stadium and so can we."
