The victory over Bayern showcases the depth and sheer quality of Mikel Arteta&#8217;s squad.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"7\">Arsenal manager <b>Mikel Arteta<\/b> was full of praise after the match:<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,0\">&#8220;First of all, I have to praise our players because I think they had an incredible match against, in my opinion, the best team in Europe.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8,1\">&#8220;Individually, we were immense to resolve all the challenges that this team brings to the table. They know how hard we work to prepare for every single game.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9\">Arteta also stressed the importance of maintaining focus amid the positive momentum:<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,0\">&#8220;We know that the margins are super small. We started the week really well against Spurs, winning here at home. Today is another massive victory, but that&#8217;s it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"10,1\">&#8220;Now we go home, have a nice dinner and tomorrow morning we start to prepare for Stamford Bridge [away to Chelsea on Sunday].&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRiRd5cDKWt\/\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h3>Depth Shines Through in Second Half<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">The first half ended 1-1, after <b>Jurrien Timber&#8217;s<\/b> opening header was canceled out by an equalizer from <b>Lennart Karl<\/b> in the 32nd minute.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"12\">Both second-half goals came from substitutes.\u00a0<b>Noni Madueke<\/b> netted a beautiful goal, which was set up by an assist from another substitute, <b>Riccardo Calafiori<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>The comprehensive rout was sealed by a strike from <b>Gabriel Martinelli<\/b>, further underlining the remarkable squad depth Arsenal possesses this season.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"16\">Star midfielder <b>Declan Rice<\/b> spoke candidly about Arsenal&#8217;s ability to cope with key player injuries:<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17,0\">&#8220;We&#8217;ve navigated it really well so far without them, but now we&#8217;ve got them back I think you&#8217;re going to see a different Arsenal that can win a game in any context. <b>Exciting times to come.<\/b>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"18\">When pressed on whether Arsenal are now title favorites, Rice chose to remain grounded and focused on the process:<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,0\">&#8220;That&#8217;s just a lot of talk. The Champions League &#8211; you&#8217;re either in or you&#8217;re out. At the moment, it&#8217;s only the league phase, anything can happen. Look at last season, Liverpool finished top last year, then they faced [Paris Saint-Germain] and they were out.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19,1\">&#8220;We just have to take it one game at a time, stay focused and be ready for whatever is thrown at us, because on our day I think we can beat anyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"20\">Rice concluded by expressing his enjoyment of the current busy fixture list:<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"21,0\">&#8220;There are a lot of games going on at the minute. I actually prefer that; I&#8217;m in a state where there are games every three or four days and I&#8217;m enjoying it because I&#8217;m getting in a rhythm and probably feeling the best I&#8217;ve ever felt.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DRiaRxDDEXg\/\"><p>&nbsp;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async defer src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arsenal are currently on a magnificent cruise, and their European performance on Wednesday evening provided the latest proof.
