Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was ecstatic with his side's Community Shield title, saying that the team was incredible in its execution of attack and added that the match was a "good test" for the team

Mikel handed full debuts to Christos Tzolis and Bruno Guimaraes, with Tzolis setting up goals for Kai Havertz and Martin Odegaard in a convincing win against Mancheter City

With the Premier League kick-off against Coventry just five days away, the win will give Arteta motivation and hope that this latest success will drive his players to bigger things in the 2026-27 season

"When you win something big like this, you fight so much for it, and you go through that emotion, you win it again, and you want it again. We need to push everybody every single day because if the standards are at that level," Arteta said

"We know what the Premier League brings, and it is a huge challenge every week, and Coventry is going to be a big one on Friday. So now we have to recover after a massive shift today. But I really liked, again, the desire and the will that the team showed," Arteta signed off
