Brentford manager Thomas Frank discussed his side's upcoming Premier League clash with Arsenal, who earlier in the campaign beat Real Madrid 3-0 in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.
Declan Rice scored two free kicks to seal victory for the Blues, and Thomas Frank was at the Emirates Stadium to witness the match.
Thomas Frank said: "I was actually there at the time. It was an incredible game and Arsenal really deserved the victory. Declan Rice's two free kicks were really great. The first one went around the wall and the second one was a big reversal. It was really wonderful."
"For the first goal, I wish our wall was different because then he couldn't get around that side. But the most important thing is that we avoid fouls."
Despite this, Thomas Frank believes it will be a tough test for the team no matter which player Mikel Arteta fields in the match.
Thomas Frank said: "Arsenal's performance was really good and you could see that they have reached a high level. If they play at their best, they can reach this level, and they did that against Real Madrid.
"No matter who they send out, they are still a very strong team. Although I don't know which player they will send out, I know this game will not be easy. However, we will believe in ourselves, after all, we performed well there in the past two times."
