Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia is looking forward to their Champions League quarterfinal tie with Villarreal.

"For them, it is a big party to be in the quarter-finals of the Champions League," said Almunia, who watched from the bench as a dramatic late penalty save by Jens Lehmann saw Arsenal through to the 2006 Champions League final at the expense of the Yellow Submarine.

"It is quite a small town, and also a small stadium, but the people there are brave and their supporters give everything."
