campaign since 2016. Their meeting with PSV Eindhoven at the Emirates Stadium on Wednesday marks a return from the wilderness and is a visible waymarker of the progress they have made since Arteta took over almost four years ago.in the 1-0 win at Everton on Sunday there was an evident buoyancy around Arsenal’s training facility. They face last season’s Eredivisie runners-up, who are managed by the former Ajax and Borussia Dortmund coach Peter Bosz, and Arteta was happy to dwell on the momentousness of the occasion.“Proud and excited,” he said when asked to describe his feelings. “It’s been a long time for the club since we’ve been in the competition and it’s the first time for me as a manager, so I’m really looking forward to it.
Arteta reflected on the journey involved and explained their belief had never wavered. “We had some big situations to go through,” he said. “We did it together and in a really powerful way as a club. We always believed we were going to reach [the Champions League], but something [else] is to try to plan and then do it. We don’t want to stop there. The aim is to continue to be better.”
