In another match against Atletico Madrid, Dzekeresh urged everyone to show their energy.

Arsenal will host Atletico Madrid at the Emirates Stadium for the second leg of the 2025/26 UEFA Champions League semi-final. Swedish star Stefan Dzekereš said the match will be very difficult, but he also urged his team to show their energy.

In the first leg of the semi-final, Arsenal took the lead with a penalty from Dzekeresh, but conceded a penalty to Alvarez in the second half.

Ultimately, Arsenal drew 1-1 with Atletico Madrid away from home, raising the tension for the second leg to another level.

In an earlier Premier League match, Arsenal secured a 3-0 victory over Fulham thanks to goals from Dzekeresh and Saka, keeping Arteta's team in contention for the title.

Arsenal striker Stefan Dzekeresh said in an interview, "It's fantastic to play this game at home, and we all know what this game means. We have a great opportunity to play a great game tomorrow and enjoy it with the fans, but we must show that on the pitch. With the strong support of the fans, I believe it will be a wonderful day."

"The atmosphere in the locker room is great. We are very excited for every game ahead. Now all we need to do is prepare well and bring that energy to the court."

Dzekeresh continued, "I've experienced matches like this before, and I've been in these crucial moments where we have to win. Just like a month ago with the national team, we had to win to qualify for the World Cup. Tomorrow is both an excellent opportunity and a very rare position for us to strive for this achievement."

“I think the match will be as tough as before. Atletico Madrid is a very good team with a strong attack, and we know they are very threatening in that area. Therefore, we must be good defensively and play to our strengths when we have possession.”

Furthermore, the 27-year-old Dzekeresh has contributed 20 goals for Arsenal in all competitions so far this season, including 5 goals in the Champions League.

Dzekeresh said, "Players always want to score goals, so achieving this statistic is a good thing, but the most important thing now is the games this month. We have to do our job and then see what the final result will be."
