Valverde believes Arteta is one of the best coaches in the world, citing the impressive performance of his team.

"It's not just about the players he has, but how they play, their attitude and how they press," Valverde said.

He noted that Arteta's team is consistent in every duel and doesn't let their opponents play freely.

Valverde acknowledged that facing a strong team like Arsenal requires a perfect match to show their strengths and minimize the opponent's opportunities.

He also mentioned that his team has some experience playing against Arsenal, having faced them in pre-season, and knows roughly how they play and at what level.
