Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta was delighted to make his Champions League bow as a head coach.
The Spaniard took charge of his first Champions League match as a manager against PSV Eindhoven at home on Wednesday.
The Gunners made swift work of the Dutch side, easing their way to a 4-0 home win.
Reflecting on the occasion post-match, Arteta told club media: “I'm really happy. It was really emotional just listening to the music and the atmosphere that we had in the stadium, it was great. It is a good memory for the first game to win 4-0 and the way we played, I'm really happy.
“I could sense over the past 48 hours and the way [the players] were, the level of attention that they wanted, how they were competing like they were up for the fight. But then you have to do it against a really good side that hasn't lost a single game, and today we won because we were really efficient in both boxes.
“We had some transition moments to defend after their reply and we did that really, really well and we were really clinical. We were really composed on the ball to pick the right player, the right pass, the right space and that was the difference in the game."
