Jorginho: Arsenal youngsters so happy to hear Champions League theme music

Arsenal midfielder Jorginho admits his young teammates are excited being part of the Champions League.

Jorginho joined the Gunners from Chelsea in January having been a veteran and also a winner of the competition.

“It's iconic, it's so remarkable. It was stuck in our heads when we were kids so you just kind of go back to your childhood when you listen to it," Jorginho said of the Champions League theme music.

“It seems so far away when you're a kid to play in, and that's why I think it's really special. I was in Brazil as a little kid watching every single game of the Champions League, watching Barcelona, Milan and Arsenal with the ball, and the music. It's a competition the whole world stops to watch, so to be here now, we are living our dreams.

“I could see a lot of excitement for the PSV game and I could feel the emotional side of it as well. They were excited to hear the music, and even in training when we trained for the first time with the Champions League ball. They couldn't wait any more.

“It was nice to see the boys achieving these dreams in their lives. It's always amazing to see and I'm really pleased that I was there with them."
