FT: PSV 1-7 Arsenal
Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber speaking to Amazon Prime:
“Massive performance, proud of the guys we showed we are capable of a lot and put ourselves in a good position for next week.”
On his goal: “Amazing cross, good header. Nice to open the score. I had to win here, rivals of Ajax so I had to win here.”
On trip to Madrid in quarter-final: “We put ourselves in a good position for next week. We get it done there and we’ll see.”
Arsenal midfielder Declan Rice:
“We were fluid, enthusiasm, the drive and hunger in the knock out phase of the Champions League. But we’ve been playing like this all season. We feel we’ve been playing well as a team sometimes we score five sometimes two sometimes we don’t score but tonight we did well. We had the opportunity to score more second half especially.”
On Ethan Nwaneri: “Top. He’s 17-years-old and he’s on the biggest stage. We’ve taken them [youngsters] under our wing and they deserve to be playing. You should see them train they way they have no fear and want to perform.
“Even if [Bukayo] Saka was here Ethan would be still getting minutes because he’s that good and works so hard in training. Same with Myles despite having to come off for the yellow card tonight, we have so many top young players.”
On progressing to quarter-final: “Nothing done yet we’ll see”
