Arsenal midfielder Robert Pires has admitted his great admiration for Champions League opponents Villarreal - a club he is expected to be playing for next season.
Pires is on Villarreal president Fernando Roig's shopping list and the Frenchman said: "This will be the hardest test for us yet because Villarreal are a good passing side with excellent midfielders like us.
"In many respects, the way they play, is like playing a mirror image of ourselves."
