“But you never know if it's an advantage. Until now we've played almost every three days and we haven't done that bad, so maybe we should implement some friendly games if we finish top eight! No, it's a joke of course! It hasn't been bad for us that we've played so many games but we are pushing really hard to end up top eight to have the best possible seeding, but definitely also to skip that round.”
Reflecting on his side’s latest Champions League win, Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was full of praise for Bukayo Sak who scored twice to put the North London outfit a step closer to the next round. Arteta said: “He keeps surprising us, and that’s what he wants to do. That’s the quality that he has, that’s the ambition that he has and how he’s preparing himself every day. It’s very difficult to do what he’s doing. What he’s done in his first six years of professional football is exceptional. His aim is to improve. He has the players and the environment around him to continue to do that and I’m sure he will.
“He has developed in the right way, mentally, physically, his condition, and his preparation, and now he has got the habit to play every three days and he is consistently doing that at the highest level. He is a great example because how he behaves daily, and what he wants to do, which is to give his best version every day. He is very humble, a great guy to have around the place and an incredible talent. He’s making the difference for us.”
