Mikel Arteta on Arsenal's Champions League Success

Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, revealed the reasons behind the club being the sole Premier League team left in the Champions League. He stated that Arsenal's advancement to the semi-finals, where they will confront Atletico Madrid, is due to the team's capability to manage the challenges posed by the demanding schedule.

Arteta emphasized that the toll of the schedule has made it difficult for English clubs to remain competitive in the league. Following a subpar performance, he acknowledged the need for improvement in certain areas but recognized the merit of the players' achievements.

Declan Rice, a key player, was noted to have exhausted himself in the previous match and was not available for play the following day. Arteta expressed sincere appreciation for the team's contributions, highlighting the importance of every player's effort.
