Ahead of tomorrow’s FA Cup final against Aston Villa, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey has said that his team are not taking anything for granted and are wary of the threat posed by Tim Sherwood’s men.
Arsenal are contesting their second consecutive FA Cup final, having won the domestic cup against Hull City last May after a closely-contested match.
The Gunners were 2-0 down early on, but they rallied to score twice and push the match into extra time. A Ramsey strike in the 109th minute sealed Arsenal’s first silverware in nine years, and now they are looking to retain the prestigious trophy.
The Villans, who struggled the entire campaign to stave off relegation, upset Liverpool in their semi-final tie and they will be looking to deny Arsene Wenger’s men a second consecutive FA Cup.
However, Ramsey insists that his team are treating Aston Villa with utmost respect and expects tomorrow’s final to be a difficult encounter.
