Arthur was given a place in the starting line up in Barcelona's 4-2 win over Tottenham at Wembley and the Brazilian midfielder shone.
After the game, he recognised that it was a very difficult night and showed his admiration for teammate Lionel Messi.
"It was a tough game. It's not easy to play against Tottenham," Arthur said to reporters.
"It's incredible what he [Messi] does, he makes extraordinary things look routine.
"He is the best player in history.
"I am very happy to play alongside him and learn. He helps me a lot."
