And one thing’s for sure – Bukayo Saka will wear the captain’s armband.Asked at the press conference about the reasons behind such a decision, the Gunners’ boss responeded:”What is it about Saka that makes me want him to be our captain? Especially the way people look at him. People admire him, people respect him, people want to be next to him. He’s got this capacity to inject this positivity in people. He’s got a very particular way of smiling and transmitting his energy.”He’s one of our leaders right now. He’s come all the way from the academy, he shares the values of the football club, he’s one of our biggest talents, biggest players, no question about that. He’s got status on the team right now,” said Arteta.”It’s important to stay calm” 🤝Bukayo Saka urges players and fans not to overreact at recent results. pic.twitter.com/qQHPc3gvo7— Sky Sports News (@SkySportsNews) November 6, 2024 The fans are still worried about the outcome of the entire season, let alone the Inter tie.”In moments when you have a defeat or two, or you have certain news that nobody expects, like we always do, you should stick together, bring positive energy and move forward. This is part of football and we have to be very strong. Like we’ve always done, we’ll get a long way just with that. Stick together,” concluded Arteta.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – ROUND 4TuesdayPSV – Girona 4-0 (2-0)/Flamingo 16, Tillman 33, Bakayoko 83, Krejci 88 og/Slovan B. – Dinamo Zagreb 1-4 (1-2)/Strelec 5 – Spikic 10, Sucic 30, Kulenovic 54,72/Bologna – Monaco 0-1 (0-0)/Keher 86/Celtic – RB Leipzig 3-1 (2-1)/Kuhn 35, 45+1, Hatate 72 – Baumgartner 23/Dortmund – Sturm 1-0 (0-0)/Malen 85/Lille – Juventus 1-1 (1-0)/Davis 27 – Vlahovic 60 pen/Liverpool – Leverkusen 4-0 (0-0)/Diaz 61, 83, 90+2, Gakpo 63/Real Madrid – Milan 1-2 (1-2)/Vinicius Jr 23 pen – Thiaw 12, Morata 39/Sporting – Manchester City 3-1 (1-1)/Gyokeres 38, 49 pen, Araujo 46 – Foden 4/Wednesday20:45: (3.50) Club Brugge (3.45) Aston Villa (2.10)20:45: (2.05) Shakhtar (3.45) Young Boys (3.60)23:00: (1.35) Bayern (5.80) Benfica (9.00)23:00: (18.0) Crvena Zvezda (7.20) Barcelona (1.20)23:00: (1.60) Feyenoord (4.00) Salzburg (5.70)23:00: (2.65) Inter (3.35) Arsenal (2.85)23:00: (1.73) PSG (3.75) Atl.Madrid (4.80)23:00: (2.45) Sparta Praha (3.35) Brest (2.90)23:00: (2.45) Stuttgart (3.75) Atalanta (2.85)***odds are subject to change***
