Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta shared his thoughts on the importance of playing well at this stage of the season.
"Now the most important thing is to play the best football possible and take the best opportunity to win, that's it.
Yesterday I understood something very important in the Premier League. I was watching the Champions League match between Newcastle and Barcelona. For me, Barcelona is in many ways the most exciting team in Europe in terms of style. And now they face Newcastle, an incredible Premier League team in terms of intensity, high pressure and everything to do with one-on-one play. They have a great arsenal, a very strong team in transition.
And against them we saw a completely different Barcelona, which I had never seen before. This is a great honor for Newcastle, but this is the league we play in.
Did you see Barcelona make their 1000th pass as they do every week in Spain? No. It was a completely different game. Can it be beautiful? Yes. But it was Newcastle who brought the game to this state and they deserve praise for it. They did a great job and deserve praise," said the Arsenal head coach.
