“The level and the consistency the team is showing, how we are playing, how the team is competing, we are always there,” Arteta said.

The team is showing real maturity as well as a lot of hunger to be there and show a bit of bite and teeth in the right moments. I’m really pleased with the performance, the way the team played, how much the team generated, the approach we had from the beginning .

”We talked about it that it was going to be to tough. We’ve played a lot of games, a lot of minutes and this was going to be something very different to the last two games and the team was really mature. Patient, but with the right aggression as well, and I think we fully deserved to win the game.”
