Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta attempts to rally his players from the touchline
ARSENAL progressed in the Europa League despite Olympiacos winning 1-0 at the Emirates on Thursday evening.
Mikel Arteta’s side reached the quarter-finals of Europe’s second tier competition after winning 3-2 on aggregate against the Greek champions.
