Mikel Arteta played his final game for Arsenal yesterday and is grateful for the opportunity and took a moment to thank everyone involved.
"It was unbelievable because the last few months have been really difficult and I have been through a difficult position as well with my role in the team.
"To have the opportunity to say goodbye and 99 per cent to say goodbye to the sport that I love is very hard, but my taste of it can't get better than today.
"A big thank you to everybody."
