Arsenal's reinvigorated Premier League push must be Mikel Arteta's priority - even if it means sacrificing their Champions League hopes
Pressure Mounts on Arsenal
Arsenal are about to experience a whole new level of pressure. After wrestling their teetering Premier League title chase back on course with a much-needed victory over Newcastle, the Gunners are now preparing to enter Atletico Madrid's Metropolitano cauldron in the Champions League semi-finals.
Arteta's Priority
However, while the prospect of a domestic and European double is tantalising, head coach Mikel Arteta must see the bigger picture. It was a case of job done on Saturday as the Gunners edged the out-of-sorts Magpies to crucially return to the top of the table in what Arteta described as "game one", with four more finals to come.

Balancing Domestic and European Ambitions
The Gunners' priority should be their Premier League push, even if it means sacrificing their Champions League hopes. With four more "finals" to come, Arteta must make tough decisions to ensure the team's success.
