Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta credits a rugby union concept, calling substitutes “finishers” who are equally or more important than starters. This was proven in a 2-0 Champions League win over Athletic Club, where substitutes Gabriel Martinelli and Leandro Trossard scored and assisted each other. Arteta emphasizes the critical impact of bench players, praising their mentality and the team’s genuine support for one another, especially for Martinelli who responded after a drop in form.
