"Look at Bayern Munich this season, they have been the best team in Europe. This was probably the toughest game tactically we have played this season. The way they work it is so, so good. We went man to man with them in the second half and I thought tonight we were outstanding. The manager is so happy. It was a special European night."
"We are different, they are different as well. It was a different stage in the competition. There were very thin margins there in that tie as well, the way we went out. But that's part of the past. Hopefully, we learn, we are better and we're going to have to show that. We've certainly been very, very consistent in the competition so far, but it's just the beginning."
Arsenal beat Bayern Munich 3-1 to maintain a perfect start in the Champions League group stage and top both the Premier League and their UCL group. Jurriën Timber opened the scoring before Lennart Karl equalised. Noni Madueke and Gabriel Martinelli came off the bench to turn the match in Arsenal's favour in an impressive second half. Declan Rice praised Bayern's quality, called the game tactically demanding, and warned against getting carried away despite the victory. Mikel Arteta referenced a past quarter-final loss to Bayern, emphasised consistency, and said the campaign is only beginning.
