"When I look at that game, Bayern v PSG, it's probably the best game I ever witnessed in the quality of two teams and especially the individual quality the players delivered, I have never seen something like this. But when I look at the amount of minutes and the freshness of those players, then I'm not surprised."
"To deliver that much quality you have to be very fresh and the difference in the leagues and the way they compete is night and day. You cannot compare one part of that without any context around it, I don't think it's fair."
Mikel Arteta argues that Premier League teams can compete with European rivals, citing player freshness as a key factor in performance. He highlights the domestic dominance of teams like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain, which allows their players to be in peak condition. Arteta notes that Arsenal's challenging season, with multiple injuries, affects their competitiveness. He believes comparisons between leagues should consider context, as the differences in competition levels are significant. Arsenal aims to maintain their title chances against Fulham while managing injuries ahead of their Champions League semi-final.
