Arsenal wins FA Cup: Arteta celebrates

Arsenal is the most successful club in the history of the FA Cup for a reason. 

They showed in the final that this is a competition they simply love to win having done it 4 out of the last 7 times. They beat Chelsea last night by a 2-1 scoreline and their new boss Mikel Arteta was a happy man. 

“I have to say thank you to Pep in every way because I am a manager now in big part thanks to him,” Arteta told BT Sport after the match.

“If someone had told me when I started that I would go through this and just see the spirit in that dressing room with the staff and what we have been creating — that is what I am most proud of.”

“It is an incredible way to finish the season. It has been a really weird year,” Arteta said.

“I was brought here with the intention of bringing the club back to where it was which is winning trophies so thank you so much for the club in trusting me and the players following and the spirit they created and obviously the fans.”

“I think it is even better because I know the context,” he added. “I know the situation we had when we joined so to turn the situation around and see them, just those faces, make people happy. The staff the effort they made. It has paid for all the moments we have suffered.”
