Arsenal manager Mikel Arthet shared his emotions after the victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-final tie. I’m so happy, it’s the third time in our history (reaching the semi-finals), so I should be very proud. The team showed incredible ambition, courage, and a willingness to fight any rival. It’s not just that we went further, but also how we did it—in London and here in Madrid—so I’m very proud of the players. It was my first time as manager of the Santiago Bernabeu, and today I realized how anything is possible in this stadium, because it creates such chaos, such momentum. The crowd is truly overwhelming, and anything can happen. But I think emotionally, especially after losing, we handled this situation. Our young players haven’t reached this stage yet.
League Chempionov So it was wonderful.The only thing we’ve discussed over the last three days is that we came to Madrid to win. It’s not just about going further, but also about how we have to do it because we can. These demands and this kind of mood are very important for the team.
I think it shows the team’s potential; against any opponent, when we’re in our best form, we can perform. Especially in the unfortunate conditions and with a large number of players who can’t help us here. I think it’s special how we’re doing. Previously, Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelottisummarizes the results of this confrontation.
