2023-05-13 12:51:49 Ødegaard: “The way they play out from the back especially is very good. How they press – very intense team and they play a lot of man-to-man. It’s going to be a tricky game but playing at home in front of our supporters means hopefully you can help bring us through again.”

2023-05-13 12:51:25 Martin Ødegaard: “I know it has been a long time since we had two players score 15 in a season, and you look at Bukayo, Gabi Martinelli, Gabby Jesus, Eddie, Leo as well – we have more players taking responsibility, scoring goals and being important for the team.

“Also there’s Reiss Nelson, and Granit too, who has scored more this season and is getting more assists. It’s important that it comes from all over the pitch, because that makes it hard for teams to play against us when we are more unpredictable.

“We want to keep that going against Brighton. They have a very good team, as we all know, and have been playing at a really high level all season.”

2023-05-13 05:00:49 Mikel Arteta: “We can be much, much better in lots of things, huge margins. We can be much better attacking man-to-man situations, we can be much better attacking open spaces, in set-pieces we have huge capacity still.

“In terms of game management we can be a lot better, we can be much more ruthless. There's a lot of things we have to seek to improve.

“We don’t have a single player that has reached their peak, no one. And we as coaches have to be curious to understand what can we do to improve them.

“They can empower each other and take their game to different levels. It’s about everything clicking, and getting into players and getting something else out of them.”

“Our match against Barcelona in Los Angeles is another great opportunity for Mikel and our men’s first-team squad to prepare for the exciting new season.

“This is another high-quality match in our visit to the United States in July and we’re so looking forward to meeting our many supporters in Los Angeles.”

2023-05-12 16:11:41 Aaron Ramsdale has won the Premier League Save of the Month for April (against Mohamed Salah, Liverpool)

“I just remember Salah being on his left foot and thinking he's going to cut in and try and put this in the top corner.

“It was such an emotional, mentally-draining game that you just go into autopilot and you try and find things that you do every day multiple times. Thankfully I was able to call on some of my training and tip it around the post.”

2023-05-12 13:14:24 Thomas Partey on the final three games of the Premier League season: “The competition is very good as anytime you don’t do well, someone can take your place.

“It pushes every player to be on top, so I think you have more chance of getting the best out of every player with rotation, and I believe it’s part of the game. We have to stick together and put our minds on one objective.  

“In football, you have to always be ready to be at the top and I think the mentality of this squad is that we have to try and finish as high as possible.

“We have to get better and push ourselves to get the best out of each other as that will make the team stronger, and keep fighting for everything that we want.”

2023-05-08 13:30:08 Mikel Arteta on Jorginho vs Newcastle: “He was exceptional, he was man of the match, there were question marks because it was going to be really physical.

“If you want to go physicality against physicality, you have no chance to win the game so we had to try something different.

“He understood the game really well, he's a really intelligent player. He gives a lot of security to the team and dominated the game in many moments.”
