Arteta and Saka

Arsenal are back in the Champions League semi-finals after a 16-year absence. The Gunners defeated Real Madrid in both the first and second legs.

A titanic achievement. An absolutely deserved result. The Londoners will now face PSG, in a challenge that is expected to be very open and above all spectacular.

The great architect of this result is undoubtedly Mikel Arteta, the young coach who has shaped his team and who now dreams of big things and takes the credit. After the match, the Basque coach was radiant and joked about Saka and revealed a phone call with Guardiola before the match.

Saka's missed penalty in Real Madrid-Arsenal

Without a centre-forward, with Gabriel Jesus out for the season, Arsenal scored five goals in total against Real Madrid in both legs, and it could have been six, after Saka missed a penalty, which he took very badly. At the end of the match, the Gunners manager was smiling, happy as Easter, and joked about the penalty missed by Saka, who attempted a shot that was not at all appropriate: "What did I think after that penalty? I wish I had slapped him. He made that decision, that's all. I was more worried about the consequences it could have emotionally."

Phone call with Guardiola: "I'm here thanks to him"

Arteta is in the semi-finals, where he will face Luis Enrique. The two not only share the fact that they are Spanish, but are also linked by Guardiola.

Arteta has long been Pep's deputy. While Lucho was Guardiola's successor at Barcelona. And from the belly of the "Bernabeu", the coach born in 1982 revealed that he had also made a phone call to the Manchester City coach on Wednesday morning: "I called him this morning because I am here thanks to him. He has been my inspiration as a coach and as a player, I spent four years with him. I am here thanks to him, he is the man who decided to believe in me, to choose me as an assistant coach."
