Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta hailed his players after their stunning FA Cup semifinal win over Manchester City.
Arteta expressed his regret that fans weren't at Wembley to share the moment, and he lavished praise on the players for their Herculean effort against Pep Guardiola's side.
"I am really thankful to the players for the effort they are putting in, the performances they are putting in, the chemistry that they are generating," Arteta told Arsenal Digital.
"They are trying to play every week, every day. It doesn't matter, we have players with injections, players that were sick, but they're willing to play. At the moment I have a feeling that I can pick anybody that is ready to play and perform at that level.
"We made five or six changes the other day, we made the same again today and look at the level of all of the players.
"I'm so happy today. To beat [City] in a semi-final and to beat the best two teams in Europe probably in three or four days is something I am very proud of.
"I am sorry for the fans because we could've enjoyed a beautiful moment today with them. They are not here but I just want to tell them that we are thinking about them."
