Arsenal defender Mikael Silvestre is looking forward to their
Champions League semi against Manchester United.
"I still have a lot of friends [at United] but it's part of the
competition," said Silvestre, who missed much of last season with
knee ligament damage. "You go to a match and you want to fight, no
matter who you play against."
"You have to fight even if it's your best friend in front of
you," the France international said. "When you have to tackle, to
win the ball, when you have to play the challenges, you fight for
your club and you forget everything else."
