Arsenal mid-fielder Santi Cazorla said that after securing the last 16 spot in Champions League, the club's next target will be the top place of the group.
The English club reached the knockout stage for the 15th year running by beating Dortmund 2-0 at home Wednesday night.
"It was a very good result for us. With this result we have qualified and the team played well. The first goal was important for us, enabling us to play more easily. We pressed high, had a good spirit and played very well. We need to continue playing the same and now focus on the league again," the 29-year-old Cazorla was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
"When you finish first, you can play against another team - not Barcelona, not Madrid, not PSG. It is difficult because we need Dortmund to lose or draw at home and for us to win at Galatasaray, but we want to win that last game."
