Arteta on Arsenal's comfortable 2-0 Champions League win at Athletic
Arsenal secured a 2-0 victory over Athletic Club in their Champions League opening match, marking the Spanish club’s return to the competition after an 11-year absence.
Manager Mikel Arteta's tactical substitutions proved decisive, with 'finishers' Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scoring both goals.
Martinelli, who had been struggling for form, opened the scoring and assisted Trossard's goal, demonstrating his renewed importance to the team.
Arteta emphasised the significance of “finishers” this season, highlighting their crucial role in securing wins and managing a large squad.
The match also underscored Arsenal's squad depth and financial superiority compared to Athletic Club, a recurring theme in modern European football.
