Steve Mandanda: 'Marseille not going to London for a holiday'

Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda says that his club are not just coming to London for a holiday as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Champions League.

Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda has said that his side are not coming to London for a holiday as they prepare to face Arsenal in the Champions League tonight.

Mandanda's team have lost all four of their Champions League games this campaign, but the keeper has declared that the French club are still playing for their pride.

"Marseille have pride and we want to show our best face in our last two matches in the Champions League this season," Mandanda told Sky Sports News.

"We have not come to London for a holiday. The team has not developed a good phase in the Champions League. Luck has been absent in some matches and that is important in football.

"To play against Arsenal and in the Emirates Stadium is always very difficult, more so now because the Gunners are in great form, but football also has surprises."

Mandanda has been in fine form for his side in the league this season, helping propel Marseille into fourth position in Ligue 1.
