Bacary Sagna hailed Arsenal's character after their victory at Celtic this week.

Only Barcelona and Dinamo Moscow had beaten Celtic at Parkhead in the Glasgow club's previous 36 European home matches.

"I think the atmosphere is one of the most amazing in Europe and it was great to play in front of those fans," the France international said.

"It was hard to stay focused on the pitch. It's difficult to play against this kind of atmosphere. It is one of the most amazing I have ever witnessed. But we did quite well with it."

The 26-year-old added: "The danger was to come here after such a good win and take it easy but we stayed focused and defended as a team and played as a team.

"We were confident, we want to play good football and achieve some things this season. It was a strange first goal but that's football and I think we deserved the luck."
