Earlier, a video of Arteta speaking at a championship celebration circulated online. In the video, Arteta boldly declared, "On Saturday, we will be champions of Europe." According to famous blogger and self-media outlet The Touchline, there is considerable dissatisfaction within Arsenal regarding the leak of this video.
A video circulating on social media shows Arsenal manager Arteta speaking passionately at an internal party celebrating the Premier League title. The Spanish coach, holding a microphone, told everyone, "On Saturday, we will be champions of Europe."
Reportedly, although the original video has been deleted, this clip has gone viral online, and its traces are difficult to completely erase.
It is understood that Arsenal internally believes Arteta did nothing wrong, but they believe the video will inevitably reach the Paris Saint-Germain coach and players, giving the opponent extra motivation before the match.
This Saturday, Arsenal will face defending champions Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final in Budapest.
