Arsenal manager Arteta said in an interview, "I am very happy with the team's performance and victory. We successfully rotated some players who were not in good physical condition, and also gave other players who deserved opportunities to play, and they deserved this victory. I think this is one of the best first 35 minutes away from home this season. Considering that we went to Madrid and returned to England, I feel incredible about the team's state."
"We needed players to contribute in different positions and to improve our goal stats as much as possible. We did that, just like we did against Real Madrid, we scored a few great goals, and we have to keep this ambition."
Arteta pointed out, "Our front players performed very sharp, always stayed focused and always appeared in excellent positions. They dared to take risks and continued to create threats. I think our goals were all wonderful and they performed excellently. I am very satisfied with this."
"This is the stability we showed. It's a pity that we drew in several games that we should have won. Some small details prevented us from getting all three points. This is the key that affected us."
In addition, Arteta also said, "But from the current overall data, the position we are in and the adaptability and diversity shown by the team, especially when three or four main players cannot start, can still maintain such performance, which makes me very happy."
