Ia memuji kontribusi besar Gabriel di lini pertahanan Arsenal dalam meredam agresivitas serangan para pemain PSG.

“How he played all season and tonight was immense. But he missed it.

But he didn't hide,” ucap Henry.

Pujian Luis Enrique untuk Arsenal

Sebelum pertandingan dimulai, Luis Enrique sebenarnya sudah sempat melontarkan pujian bagi konsistensi dan kebangkitan performa Arsenal di kompetisi domestik.

“No, I am not surprised, especially with what they have done this year. They are absolutely worthy of winning the Premier League.

They were the best team and the most consistent. It was not always easy with Manchester City on their tails, but they deserved the title.

Arteta has been there for six and a half years so he knows the team inside out,” kata Luis Enrique kepada Goal.

Keyakinan Martin Keown

Mantan bek Arsenal, Martin Keown, menyatakan keyakinannya bahwa klub asal London Utara itu akan kembali beraktivitas di bursa transfer untuk memperkuat tim demi target juara di masa depan.

“Arsenal will be back bigger, better and stronger,” kata Keown kepada TNT Sports.

Keown menilai posisi Arsenal saat ini sangat bagus untuk membangun kekuatan baru bermodalkan mentalitas juara Liga Inggris.

“They'll be in the transfer market, and this is just the start for Arteta, with the confidence of winning a Premier League,” ujar Keown.

Fakta bahwa timnya hanya berjarak satu tendangan penalti dari trofi juara Eropa dinilai menjadi pemantik semangat bagi jajaran manajemen klub.

“We've gone toe-to-toe with the best in the world.

Arsenal will build upon this, maybe the attractive football will come back, the focus will always be on trying to win,” ucap Keown.
