Mikel Arteta has revealed that he called 'inspiration' Pep Guardiola before his Arsenal side's Champions League quarter-final second leg win over Real Madrid.
After a Declan Rice-inspired 3-0 win at the Emirates, the Gunners traveled to the Spanish capital knowing they already had done foot in the semi-finals for the first time since 2009.
After a dramatic first-half - with Bukayo Saka missing a penalty and a spot-kick for the hosts scrubbed off by VAR - the two sides were inseparable by the break.
However Saka soon atoned for his earlier mistake with a fantastic opener, Vinicius Junior quickly pegging the Gunners back, before a 92nd-minute winner from Gabriel Martinelli made it 5-1 on aggregate to Arsenal.
