Valencia striker Gameiro: We can beat 'open' Arsenal

Valencia striker Kevin Gameiro insists they can still beat Arsenal on Thursday.

Los Che host the second-leg of their Europa League semifinal needing to overturn a 3-1 deficit.

Gameiro said, "We're going to have chances, sure. Arsenal is a team that plays football and leaves space. We are going to have our chances.

"We have to want to play this game to reach the final and not leave anything. If they win it is because they will be stronger, they cannot beat us for another reason."

Gameiro played for Arsenal boss Unai Emery at Sevilla.

He added: "I have not had him as a coach for a long time. I know he will be ready. Going back to a club that was your home you will want to reach the final. We have to look only at ourselves and if we play our game, we will win."
