Arsenal<\/a> defender Bacary Sagna<\/a> insists he is not too downhearted after the defeat to Barcelona<\/a> and believes they can learn a lot from their defeat as they pursue domestic success.<\/p>\n

Recent weeks have not been to kind to the Gunners, starting with the League Cup final defeat to Birmingham City where a mix-up between Polish goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny and defender Laurent Koscielny gave Obafemi Martins an easy tap-in to secure victory minutes before the end.<\/p>\n

That disappointment was tempered somewhat by a thumping victory over Leyton Orient in the FA Cup, but a goalless home draw with Sunderland in the league was followed by a Champions League exit after a 3-1 defeat to Barcelona.<\/p>\n

However, all is not lost for the Gunners as they can still achieve a domestic double. Arsenal are only three points behind league leaders Manchester United, who they face in the FA Cup at the weekend for a place in the semi-finals.<\/p>\n

And Sagna believes that Tuesday night\u2019s defeat can work in their favour as they strive to bring silverware to the Emirates and a six-year trophy drought.<\/p>\n

“We can learn a lot from Barcelona – they kept playing as a team, kept passing the ball quite well,\u201d Sagna told reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have to think about the way they played and it must be an inspiration. <\/p>\n

“We have to be strong because we want to be successful. We have to fight for the team, for the fans and everyone.<\/p>\n

“We want to bring something back to the Emirates and so we have to think about the next game.<\/p>\n

“Everyone is still confident we can win something.<\/p>\n

“The good point is we don’t have time to think about what happened last night.<\/p>\n

“We just want to train as hard as we can and give the maximum.<\/p>\n

“We are ready to fight because we are even more frustrated after what happened last night and we want to give more.<\/p>\n

“It will be another big game on Saturday. We just want to go there and play our football.”<\/p>\n
