Arsenal's Arteta Driven by Champions League Heartbreak for New Campaign

Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, believes the heartbreak of missing out on the Champions League will fuel their new campaign. Despite losing to PSG in the last four, Arteta sees the experience as motivation for success.

Ahead of their group game against Athletic Bilbao, Arteta emphasized the fine margins in elite European competition. Arsenal, who last reached the Champions League final in 2006, are without key players like Gabriel, Saliba, and Saka for the Bilbao trip.

Athletic Bilbao is returning to the Champions League after an 11-year absence. Goalkeeper Ramsdale will replace Leno for the match.

The match marks a significant challenge for Arsenal as they aim to make their mark in Europe once again.
