Arteta voices support for City amidst European ban

Mikel Arteta has said that he wants the best for his former team Manchester City who are currently facing bans and much more in Europe and England possibly. 

Speaking about UEFA’s decision to ban City from European competitions and fine them 30 million, Arteta offered his sympathy for the club.

“We don’t know anything about it,” he told Sky Sports. “We will have to wait and see.

“It’s very difficult. I’m not conflicted at all. I want the best for Manchester City, the best for Pep, for the players.

“I love a lot of people there and I am so grateful for the time I spent there. The only thing I want for them is positive and good things.

“I just want to do the best we can for Arsenal, to achieve ourselves what we deserve.”

Speaking about his team’s 4-0 win, Arteta refused to get carried away.

“We want to go game by game because, 10 days ago, I was disappointed by the game at Burnley,” he said. “A lot of things are going to happen.

“It’s up to us and how consistent we can be from now until the end of the season. If we want to have a chance [of qualifying for Europe] in the last few games, we have to put wins together.”
