Madueke says pressure still on despite Premier League title win
· Yahoo Sports
Winger Noni Madueke says that winning the Premier League title will not affect how he and his Arsenal team-mates prepare for the Champions League final.
The Gunners take on Paris-St Germain in Budapest on Saturday as they try to win Europe's elite club competition for the first time.

However, Madueke does not accept that the "pressure is off" after winning the first league title in 22 years.
"No. It's separate. The pressure of the Champions League is there," said the 24-year-old.
"This is Arsenal Football Club. One of the biggest teams in England. Pressure is always with us.
"The Champions League is, of course, the big one. So we're looking forward to it."
Manager Mikel Arteta has said his squad can now take confidence when attempting to win more trophies after getting over the line following so many near misses.
"It is definitely better that we won the Premier League before we go into the Champions League final," Madueke added.
"I just don't know if we will be thinking about that. We will be thinking about getting another one. I think the Premier League will be irrelevant on that night.
"It will be full focus on the Champions League, just giving our all and trying to make sure we bring that to the final as well."
It would be a historic double if Arsenal are able to overcome the side that knocked them out of the competition last season at the semi-final stage.
And the thought of making history is something that motivates Madueke.
"The Premier League is massive, but the Champions League is so big," he said. "To be able to do that for the first time in the history of the club would be amazing.
"And then to celebrate it with all the Arsenal fans would be the cherry on top."
