Mikel Arteta provides Arsenal with clear Champions League blueprint amid Man City title battle

Mikel Arteta has been discussing the Champions League after Arsenal's women's team beat Bayern Munich to seal a spot in the competition's semi-finals. Goals from Frida Maanum and Stina Blackstenius handed Arsenal a 2-1 aggregate victory over Bayern to confirm their place in the last four alongside Chelsea, Wolfsburg and Barcelona.

With the game contested on Wednesday evening, Arteta was in attendance and therefore got to see an outstanding goal from Maanum. The Arsenal midfielder unleashed a delightful strike from the edge of the box that flew almost in slow motion into the top corner.

"Beautiful," Arteta said when describing the strike in his press conference on Friday. "The moment the ball left her feet we knew it was going in. It is just a beautiful finish."
