This is an excellent point, Neil. Arteta has refused to allow himself to be made the story and let the players and fans have the spotlight. Very classy touch from the gaffer.
Great piece Sham, to add to the info Miguel Delaney posted a pretty good YouTube video diving deeper into the mental side including Eze giving Mikel words of wisdom post Bournemouth
Side note but Arteta has played this moment magnificently as a leader. He’s no where to be seen, he’s let it all been about the players and the fans.
Honestly the lack of ego and presence of mind to have no profile at this moment, a moment that only exists because of him is beyond elite.

In terms of character, this team surely sit with any of our sides in living memory . True mentality monsters
Not only that, but I think we’re going to see a steelier and more confident Arsenal side in future seasons
Think you are right, what a magnificent prospect!
