"We started the game so well. Their keeper kept their team in the game and we needed a magical moment from Ebs. He's playing every three days -- he has rhythm, and understanding with his teammates. Especially, he's putting in a lot of activity, with and without the ball, and in the spaces he moves, the purpose on the ball and it's the reason he's here to create those sorts of moments."
"When you start a good game and good actions that win the game, it lifts your confidence and that's what every player needs. I'm comparing the minutes he's played in his career, he's much higher in terms of productivity and that's because of the understanding we have with him and the staff understanding his game better."
Arsenal defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 in their Champions League Round of 16 second leg, winning 3-1 on aggregate to advance to the quarterfinals where they will face Sporting CP. Eberechi Eze opened the scoring in the 36th minute with a remarkable half-volley from the edge of the box, followed by Declan Rice's goal in the second half. Eze, signed from Crystal Palace for £67.5m in August, has accumulated nine goals and six assists across 43 appearances this season. Manager Mikel Arteta praised Eze's ability to create crucial moments, attributing his success to improved chemistry with teammates, consistent playing time, and growing understanding of his role within the team's tactical system.
