Mikel Arteta ordered his shocked Arsenal side to respond ‘with character and leadership’

‘We have the best opportunity to respond against Bayern Munich on Wednesday. The team has to show it. If you want to win you have to overcome these situations,” said Arteta, who said captain Martin Odegaard was substituted with a “leg injury”.

“With the games we had, this would happen. What matters now is how we respond. This is in our control.

“We knew this moment could come, it’s time to respond and believe. We must stand up, make ourselves count with leadership and character – we have no other choice. Now it is a big test for us.

“If one result (makes us lose faith) then we are not strong enough. We (Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City) all have to play every three days, it’s crazy.

‘We just have to prepare, go to Munich with a lot of confidence. It’s a great opportunity to get to the semi-finals of the Champions League, so it couldn’t come at a better time.”
