We have had different conditions as well, we were in Germany and we had to acclimatise with the weather there, and we went to the US and it was the same, now we play with different context and atmosphere as well, so in general I feel like the team is prepared. He gives us a different option to play within the role in different spaces, and I’m really happy to have him. He’s a perfectionist and a really demanding boy, I know him so well, and after that he brings qualities that we didn’t have in the squad. He’s used to winning - winning is the only thing and winning in the right way. He’s also the captain of his national team and I think it was the right call, and I’m proud to announce that because I think he’s a really good person to deliver that commitment to the club. Obviously, we have recruited Oleks in that position and we have Kieran as well, which is two really strong players in that position, and we believe that Nuno’s best solution was to do that. You cannot do that if players at the front are walking, they are not tracking, they don't have that instinct and that intention to provoke things that we want and Gabby is phenomenal at that. Now we are using him as a nine, he can play as a winger, off the left and the right. You can see the way they look for him on the pitch, on and off the ball, and what he's able to transmit as well on that pitch so I am really happy. We prepared to play against a team that has been very, very successful in the last few years, that has a huge European experience and we wanted a different test. The moment we give it away it's about how the team reacts, how compact we are, how willing we are when that press is beaten to get back and be compact again. Te games you have to play within the game is something different and it's good preparation for us, and there were many moments within the game that went for us.

Arsenal left back Nuno Tavares has joined French club Marseille on a season-long loan, the Premier League team said Saturday.

The Gunners started the game on fire and found themselves 4-0 up in just 18 minutes. The goals came in a 9-minute spell, as both Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus ...

Jesus will undoubtably be the key man for Arsenal this year and a huge threat to defenders every time he puts on Arsenal colours. He also set up the 6th and final goal, with his ace to get in behind and one on one with the keeper, but unselfishly squared it to Nketiah for him to tap home. Three goals and the man of the match award in his first game at the Emirates, Jesus showed us exactly why he was bought at the start of the window. Eddie came on in the 79th minute, and it took just 9 minutes to score the 6th and final goal with an easy tap into an open net. The Arsenal number 9 moved out onto the left often and was key in the build-up play to many chances. His cross for the 3rd goal was perfectly executed, and his runs in behind was causing headaches for Sevilla defenders. He won and scored the penalty in the opening minutes, and then Arsenal’s high press allowed him to finish off the goalkeeper’s mistake to make it 4 in just 18 minutes. The Swiss midfielder showed a different side to his game today, making deep runs into the box and causing a threat to the Sevilla defence. He played in a very high role, almost as a midfielder when Arsenal had the ball, and played some lovely passes forward. However, he showed his ability to come forward dangerously and join in with the attacks, like Zinchenko. He didn’t have much to do throughout the game, but his distribution was key and commanded his box well. For the rest of the half, Arsenal was comfortable and kept the score at 4-0.
