VIDEO SHOWS: POST-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCES AFTER ARSENAL V ATLETICO CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH RESENDING WITH COMPLETE SCRIPT SHOWS: LONDON, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (OCTOBER 21, 2025) (REUTERS – Access all) 1. ARSENAL MANAGER, MIKEL ARTETA, SITTING DOWN AT POST-MATCH PRESS CONFERENCE AFTER 4-0 WIN OVER ATLETICO MADRID IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE MATCH 2. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARSENAL MANAGER, MIKEL ARTETA, ON HOW THIS WIN HELPS THE TEAM BELIEVE THEY CAN ADVANCE FARTHER IN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE PLAY, SAYING:     "Well, obviously, I'm extremely happy and proud about the performance and the result against a really good side. I was very impressed when I analysed, and after what I've seen today about them as well. So, I knew about the difficulty of it. It required a lot of aggression and a lot of patience as well and the way they manage the context all the game and the way they can manipulate their behaviour. It's really impressive and it was 0-0 at halftime, even though we generated two or three big chances. We had to stay patient but at the same time increase a little bit certain areas to damage them more. We've done it and in this Champions League, I think we're very effective as well and I think that was key." 3. WHITE FLASH 4. (SOUNDBITE) (English) ARSENAL MANAGER, MIKEL ARTETA, ON VIKTOR GYOKERES SCORING TWO GOALS AND HIS TEAMMATES SUPPORTING HIM, SAYING:     "All of it, because he makes us a much better team. I think we become much more unpredictable, he's so physical. (He) opens the spaces for everybody, the way he presses the ball, holds the ball. It's just phenomenal. And then, yeah, the icing on the cake, and the biggest thing we were going to debate about him is the goals. He certainly scored two very different ones today, and hopefully he can get some momentum and make a good run of goals." 5. WHITE FLASH 6. ATLETICO MADRID COACH, DIEGO SIMEONE, ENTERING PRESS CONFERENCE 7. WHITE FLASH 8. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) ATLETICO MADRID COACH, DIEGO SIMEONE, SAYING:     “First, what was positive. I think the positive was, like you were saying in part of the question. I think the team competed really well until the first goal. And then after the first goal, we could have defended better. That is clear. They score really well, obviously because they score a lot of goals. And this just shows how important set pieces are in soccer. Especially in these kinds of competitions, where everything matters and makes the game easier on you. We could have made a foul on the second goal, which we didn’t. And it’s not bad luck. They’re mistakes that we made. And after the mistakes we made, they were stronger, they were better. And then for that run of 20 minutes, every time they touched the ball, they got a goal.”  9. WHITE FLASH 10. (SOUNDBITE) (Spanish) ATLETICO MADRID COACH, DIEGO SIMEONE, ON WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE BETTER, SAYING:      “Play soccer. Soccer. Soccer, all day. That’s not the job, it’s what you have to have inside you. When we can solve the issue collectively, we do it collectively. But when it is something individual, it is tougher to fix. We have to try and make the collective group cover for the individual.” / SIMEONE LEAVING PRESS CONFERENCE STORY: Arsenal stormed to a third successive Champions League victory by blowing away Atletico Madrid 4-0 thanks to a devastating second-half broadside at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday (October 21).  What had been a compelling clash with little between the sides became an Arsenal rout with goals by Gabriel, Gabriel Martinelli and a brace from Viktor Gyokeres leaving Diego Simeone's side shell-shocked. Shortly after Julian Alvarez hit the crossbar for the visitors, Gabriel broke the deadlock by heading in a Declan Rice free kick in the 57th minute. Martinelli finished off a sweeping move seven minutes later and Gyokeres then prodded his first goal of the night via a deflection as Arsenal ran riot, the Swede ending a nine-game scoring drought for club and country. Gyokeres then bundled in his second as Atletico were again unable to deal with a set piece. Victory extended Arsenal's unbeaten run to nine games and put them on nine points in the group phase, well on the way to qualifying for the knockout phase. Atletico have three points and will have to dust themselves down after their six-game unbeaten run in all competitions came to an abrupt end. (Production: Ben Makori, David Grip, Kurt Michael Hall)

VIDEO SHOWS: POST-MATCH NEWS CONFERENCES WITH NEWCASTLE UNITED MANAGER EDDIE HOWE AND BENFICA COACH JOSE MOURINHO RESENDING WITH COMPLETE SCRIPT SHOWS: NEWCASTLE, ENGLAND, UNITED KINGDOM (OCTOBER 21, 2025) (UEFA – Broadcast & Digital: This content can only be used in the reporting of the UEFA Champions League 2025/2026 season – no other use allowed.

(SOUNDBITE) (English) NEWCASTLE UNITED MANAGER, EDDIE HOWE, SAYING:     “Yeah, a good performance. I thought – yeah, an even first half, really. I thought we created some good chances. We had to be patient for that first goal. When it came – well, I thought we scored three great goals today, actually. I thought we looked a constant threat in the game. But we had some moments where we had to defend well. And they were a threat from their set plays as well. So, delighted with the win. It’s a massive, massive result.”  4. WHITE FLASH 5. (SOUNDBITE) (English) NEWCASTLE UNITED MANAGER, EDDIE HOWE, SAYING:     “Yeah, I think it is that kind of game that we have to take forward into the next few games that we’ve got coming up. I thought that’s the level we want to be at. We’ve been threatening, I think, sort of putting a performance like that together. Even (against) Brighton, there were some really positive moments, but that gets lost in the result. But today we got both. We got another clean sheet. We scored some goals, got some returns from our attacking players. Like I said earlier, it’s a good night for us.” 6. WHITE FLASH 7. (SOUNDBITE) (English) NEWCASTLE UNITED MANAGER, EDDIE HOWE, SAYING:     “Yeah, I thought both our wingers at the start of the game did really, really well. Great to see them combine for the first goal. That’s a really pleasing sight. But yeah. Anthony (Gordon) played very direct. I thought athletically he was excellent because he put a real big effort in both on and off the ball. So yeah, a good night for him.”  8. WHITE FLASH 9. (SOUNDBITE) (English) NEWCASTLE UNITED MANAGER, EDDIE HOWE, SAYING:     “Yeah, Nick (Pope), we keep saying the same thing about Nick. He’s a unique player. And those types of flicks and touches – yeah, that’s not coached. That’s instinctive. We saw that before we signed him. We know that he was very good around the box and very creative for other players. It was great to see us score off the back of one of them. Yeah, I thought that was a great goal.”  10. WHITE FLASH 11. HOWE LEAVING PRESS CONFERENCE 12. WHITE FLASH 13. BENFICA COACH, JOSE MOURINHO, ARRIVING FOR PRESS CONFERENCE 14. WHITE FLASH 15. (SOUNDBITE) (Portuguese) BENFICA COACH, JOSE MOURINHO, SAYING:     “In the first half I think the team did well on the field. The players felt comfortable on the field. The fantastic atmosphere of this stadium was not felt. The danger they created for us was, obviously, in the set pieces and in everything that was direct in the area. Because it's hard to compete with a team with this physicality. But we had great scoring opportunities. Three or four, I think.” 16. WHITE FLASH 17. (SOUNDBITE) (English) BENFICA COACH, JOSE MOURINHO, SAYING:     “No, I think it’s beautiful, but to be honest, I think in the first half, it was a quiet St James' (Park). It was quiet. They (Newcastle fans) felt that the game wasn't easy. They felt that Benfica was much closer than Newcastle to score. They brought their enthusiasm in set-pieces, which is normal. When you have a team of giants, you know that every set-piece, throw-in, lateral, free kick, corner, you know that it is a dramatic moment for the opponent. And it was the only moment when they brought that enthusiasm and pressure to the opponent. We felt very comfortable in the first half. In the second half, the second goal kills the game. And then after that, easy for Newcastle to play, easy for the fans to enjoy. But to be honest, the atmosphere was just nice. Not difficult. And beautiful in the sense of fair play, no problems. Good refereeing. No disciplinary problems. In that sense, I think it was a quiet St James’.”  18. WHITE FLASH 19. MOURINHO LEAVING PRESS CONFERENCE  STORY: Harvey Barnes came off the bench to score twice and Anthony Gordon netted for the third consecutive Champions League game as Newcastle beat Benfica 3-0 at St James' Park on Tuesday (October 21) to earn the hosts back-to-back wins in the competition. In a rip-roaring first half with chances at both ends, Gordon put Newcastle ahead in the 32nd minute. Newcastle took charge after the break but had to wait until the 70th minute to double their lead when keeper Nick Pope provided the assist for Barnes to score. Barnes wrapped up the win seven minutes from time, finishing off Gordon's threaded pass with a coolly-taken shot through the legs of the keeper as Benfica suffered their third defeat in three Champions League games this season.
