Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said at a press conference that he was encouraged by the way the Gunners faced defeat and challenges, and insisted that the team would strive for every title with a strong and winning mentality.

Arsenal will host Keira at the Emirates Stadium in the next round of the UEFA Champions League. In their last match, Arsenal defeated Inter Milan 3-1 away from home thanks to a brace from Jesus and a goal from Dzekeresh, securing first place and a place in the Champions League Round of 16.

However, in the earlier Premier League match, Arsenal lost 2-3 to Manchester United at home after an own goal and a goal by Merino.

However, Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta said, "The team's reaction was excellent. We took some time to calm down and pause to reflect on two issues. One was how we feel right now, including how I feel. The other was how we hope to spend the next four months."

"The results are very encouraging because the final conclusion is actually quite simple. Through our own efforts, we have gained an advantageous position in four events, and in the next four months, we will compete with the mindset of enjoying the game, with great courage and the belief that we will win."

Arteta also emphasized, "This is our mindset, and this is where we put our energy. I just hope that everyone associated with this club, especially our fans, can be on the same boat, because for the next four months we will play in this way, because we deserve this form."

“I spoke with the players and told them how great they are and how grateful we are to be able to work with them every day and be where we are today. We need to be clear about where we are and enjoy the process with unwavering faith that success will come because this is our moment and we really crave it.”

Furthermore, when discussing their opponent Keira, Arteta said, "This is the Champions League, so every opponent is very strong because they are all very used to winning, that's the first thing to say. Also, the league they play in and their current form are quite special."

“I watched their games against Real Madrid and Inter Milan, and they made it very difficult for their opponents. So we expect tomorrow's game to be just as difficult. We must be at our best because we want to win again, and we will give it our all.”
