What Arteta had to say about Bayern midfielder’s jibe about Arsenal’s playing style

Arsenal secured a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich in a Champions League match.

Bayern midfielder Joshua Kimmich criticised Arsenal's playing style post-match, claiming they "rely on set pieces" and "love long balls", and that the game was "not so much about football".

Kimmich contrasted Arsenal's approach with Paris Saint-Germain, stating the French side offered a more "football game" when they met earlier.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta dismissed Kimmich's comments, stating that such criticism is "part of the game" and acknowledging the different playing styles.

Arsenal have won all five of their Champions League games this season and hold a six-point lead in the Premier League ahead of their upcoming match against Chelsea.
