Arteta defiant ahead of Arsenal's Champions League clash

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta insists his side remains 'hungrier than ever' for their Champions League quarter-final against Sporting CP, despite a recent league defeat.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta addressed the media in Lisbon, downplaying Saturday's loss and urging his squad to use the disappointment to improve. He emphasized that the magnitude of the Champions League quarter-final remains unchanged, regardless of recent setbacks.
