“I spoke to Maitland in the locker room and told him I was going to have a heart attack because of him,” Arteta said.
“I will have a heart attack due to Maitland’s body language while taking penalties,” he added in his comments on the official Arsenal website.
“We had a great duo in goal and a great performance. Lino before she got injured, then Amy Martinez after that, but we had a decision to make and I think at that point it was better for Martinez to take a new step.”
He went on to say: “Very happy with Lino, what he presented today against Liverpool and with his personality that appeared today. This character will help us a lot in the next stages.”
“The biggest pressure on the players comes from the competition of course. I don’t think they focus on what some people write about them and that puts them under pressure. Lino is strong and works hard,” he said.
And on falling in love with Manchester City, Arteta said: “I found out while we were celebrating in the locker room. Now a new mission and a new challenge awaits us.”
And he added: “They had no luck in the draw, but surely our goal is to win.”
Mohamed Salah was a key player from the start, before leaving the pitch after an hour of play.
Spaniard Mikel Arteta preferred to keep Mohamed Al Nani on the substitute bench before pushing him in the 68th minute at the expense of Dani Ceballos.
Al-Nene, who participated in the 68th minute, scored the fourth penalty shoot-out for Arsenal, but Adrián blocked it.
Adrian stopped Nene’s kick, Leno responded by blocking Origi’s kick first, before blocking Harry Wilson’s kick, to successfully score Willock and qualify for Arsenal.
The match, which witnessed wholesale changes from Jurgen Klopp and Arteta, for the league match that ended 3-1 with the Reds, the preference was in favor of Liverpool, but Lino faced more than 3 chances.
