Arteta collected his first trophy in charge, and paid tribute to the club’s supporters around the world.

“Hopefully they can enjoy it together and maintain the distance, please. I want them to enjoy it because it’s all yours!

“I had only one mission when I came here and it was to make the players and the staff believe that we could do it,’ he added. “We had to change that energy and that mentality.

“Just by seeing them in the dressing room all together, the way they enjoy the professionalism and their time together… it makes me more proud and it’s a consequence of that, that afterwards we can achieve things and win titles together.”
