Reyes: Arsenal better than Real Madrid

Arsenal ace Jose Reyes says the Londoners are better than Real Madrid.

The Gunners are joint-favourites with the Bernabeu outfit to lift the Champions League pot and Reyes insisted: "I certainly think we have the team capable of winning."

"It has been the trophy that has got away when the club have fallen short but, despite this, I believe Arsenal are more galactic than Real Madrid."

"Of course, Madrid will be a threat in the competition. They are always the favourites in whatever competition they are in. With the team they have, that's normal. The most important thing, however, is how the team play."

"Arsenal will play the same in Europe as we play in the Premiership. We will not temper our style and be more defensive."

"However, we won't take the threat of our opponents lightly. Our opening opponents, PSV Eindhoven, are a great team - we recognise that. But if we play as we can I can't see them troubling us."

"There is pressure on Arsenal to succeed and go further than they have done before - but there is no room for nerves in football."
