Arsenal boss Unai Emery admits returning to Valencia is a special moment for him.

The Gunners take a 3-1 lead to Valencia tonight for the second-leg of their Europa League semifinal.

And former Los Che coach Emery says: “Yes, it's very special, to come back here after training here for four years.

“Each match is special because I have a lot of friends here but I am professional and tomorrow I am defending the Arsenal team.

“We are the opposition tomorrow and I am going to give my all for my team, for Arsenal, but also knowing that here it is going to be very difficult and here they have a very big history and are a very big club."
