UNAI EMERY insists that ending Arsenal’s 25-year wait for a European trophy is more important to him than gaining access to the Champions League.
Speaking ahead of Thursday's Europa League semi-final second-leg in Valencia, he said: “Arsenal have only two European titles in their history; the old Fairs Cup and the Cup-Winners’ Cup, neither of which still exist, so I have a lot of ambition to win this title.
“When I was here at Valencia the primary objective was to get a Champions League place, but when I went to Sevilla the president Jose Maria Del Nido asked me, ‘Have you been to a final?’
“When I said I hadn’t he told me ‘you’ll see that is like’ because at Sevilla that was what motivated us.
“The feeling of playing in a cup final was bigger than getting a Champions League place.
“I first competed for this title with Valencia when it was still the Uefa Cup and it was a lesser competition than it is now.
“The first time I won the Europa League with Sevilla we didn’t get Champions League access.
“The second time we did and that is a fair reward which makes the competition more attractive.
“So now the demands are very high and for a club like Arsenal, winning titles has to be an objective and not just as a way into the Champions League.”
