Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta understandably had mixed feelings when it came to the Euro 2024 final.

As a proud Spaniard, he was naturally delighted at the outcome of the game in Berlin. But he also felt sad for Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka and Aaron Ramsdale, who were part of the defeated England squad.

"It was a great moment for us to win it again with this generation," he said.

"They really had to earn it in the past few years, to get that belief.

"But at the same time I was also sad, because you love your players. You want the best for them and it was a tough moment."
