Arsenal's head coach Mikel Arteta expressed his gratitude to his mentor – Manchester City's head coach Josep Guardiola after defeating Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.

"I called him this morning. My being here today is because of him. So, I want to say a special thank you to him. Guardiola has always inspired me. I had an amazing four years with him and I am always grateful to him. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here," Arteta said.
