"I don't want to comment much on that. I played in the Premier League for many years. I don't think it was meant as a criticism of Bayern or PSG, but rather a discussion."
"In England, you have 38 league games, the league cup, FA Cup, no winter break. It's not for me to discuss that, but it's legitimate. Jürgen Klopp spoke about that many times too."
"The Gunners have spent many hundreds of millions of euros assembling a squad that can compete for titles - they have no room to cry about unfairness."
Mikel Arteta attributed the performance gap between teams like Arsenal and those in the Champions League to the quality of domestic leagues. Vincent Kompany responded, emphasizing the demanding nature of the Premier League schedule, which includes numerous matches without a winter break. He noted that while Arteta's comments were not a direct criticism of Bayern Munich or PSG, they framed a broader discussion about player workload. Kompany's response suggests a focus on the realities of football rather than the narratives surrounding it, indicating that performance is ultimately determined on the pitch.
