Arteta benefited greatly from Guardiola’s experiences during the three years he spent with him at City from 2016 to 2019. Pep often praised him and his artistic ideas and his deserving work as technical director, and he did not stand in his way when he received an offer from Arsenal, the club that preceded him.

In this particular round, the number of Arteta’s matches with the Gunners reached 200 since his arrival, during which he won 116 matches, tied 34 matches, and lost 50 matches.

Arteta entered the history of Arsenal, after becoming the first coach to achieve the largest number of victories in the first 200 matches, surpassing the “legend” Arsene Wenger, who achieved 111 wins in the first 200 matches, while he tied in 53 matches and lost in 36 matches.
In his statements to English journalists, Arteta said that he is very happy for his team to return to the top of the league, indicating that he will not give up easily this time in seizing the title, even though he acknowledged the great difficulties witnessed in the matches of the strongest and most exciting competition in all European leagues, in light of the presence of competitors.
