THANKFUL FOR MADUEKE! | Mikel Arteta | Leverkusen 1-1 Arsenal

©️UEFA 2026 Mikel Arteta praises Noni Madueke’s impact off the bench as he won a penalty, which Kai Havertz converted to earn Arsenal a valuable late draw in Leverkusen. TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 Intro 0:01 Yeah very important. The game had different phases. We didn't finish enough actions. Very unlike us, we conceded nothing. We expected to start the second half very fast because we know they had certain actions from kick off. 1:15 Havertz penalty? Very composed. Football brings special stories. 1:44 Drawing becomes emotionally a very different game in the second leg. You have to have full composure. Our level of execution has to be better. 2:25 Trossard? Yeah he felt something and if you're not 100% then you cannot play. 2:45 Madueke? I thought that we needed something else, Noni has been a real threat. Not surprised it is his biggest quality. To have a player who can drive into those areas. 3:26 To win in the Champions League is very difficult. It’s a measure of what we have done so far in this competition. 3:58 Missed Odegaard? Yeah Martin has different qualities but we have players with a lot of talent... The execution of players needed to be at a different level, and in many cases today it wasn't. 5:07 Leverkusen’s goal? There is always two sides to that, the opponent, they picked that weakness the lack of attention or urgency. We knew, we showed them three clips. @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.
