Sport24.az reports with reference to the Daily Mail that the coach of the "Gunners" thanked the head coach of "Manchester City" for everything:
I called Guardiola this morning before the game against Real Madrid. It is thanks to him that I am where I am now. As a player and coach, he has always been an inspiration to me. He was the one who invited me to the team as a second coach.
I spent four wonderful years with him at Manchester City. I must be grateful to him, and I will always be grateful. Otherwise I wouldn't be here.
It should be noted that Arsenal, coached by Mikel Arteta, defeated Real Madrid in both matches of the Champions League quarter-finals and advanced to the semi-finals.
