Arteta praised Arsenal: "I am incredibly proud of the whole team tonight."

In the Champions League group stage match at the San Siro, Arsenal defeated Serie A leaders Inter Milan 3-1, securing their seventh consecutive Champions League victory.

After the match, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta could not hide his excitement, praising the team's extraordinary courage and tactical execution against top European opponents, saying that it was not only a victory in terms of score, but also a victory in terms of courage.

"I am very happy, and I am extremely proud of the players," Arteta said emotionally at the post-match press conference. Facing last season's Champions League runners-up, Arsenal not only continued their impressive perfect record in this season's Champions League, but also demonstrated a high degree of emotional control and aggression under the high pressure of playing away from home.

Arteta particularly emphasized the team's mental transformation: "This courage and belief are essential. If you really want to help this team, you must have these qualities. Although we know Inter Milan has the ability to break down defenses, we firmly believe we can inflict heavy damage on our opponents, as long as we maintain sufficient consistency."

While expressing pride in the team, Arteta also specifically praised the young defender Christian Mosquera, who had recovered from injury. This summer signing, originally expected to be out for another two weeks, miraculously returned to the team ahead of schedule thanks to the efforts of the medical team and his own efforts. In this match, he withstood the pressure and battled Inter Milan's powerful attack for 75 minutes.

This victory made club history for Arsenal, achieving a seven-game winning streak in the Champions League for the first time. If they defeat Keira Knights next week, Arsenal will be on track to become the first team in history to maintain a 100% winning record at this stage of the Champions League.

Despite making history, Arteta wasn't blinded by victory, and his focus has already shifted to this Sunday's crucial Premier League match against Manchester United. Arteta stated, "We'll enjoy tonight, but this shows our desire to keep progressing. We want to win, win, and win again; we won't stop."
