Knockout! Wilshere and Podolski land blows as Arsenal qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League

"Olivier is a guy who fights for the team. Technically it was not one of his best games tonight but after the game when you measure his performance it's often decisive. He had two assists and defensively he is always reliable.
"Giroud is good when he plays completely on the offside line. Sometimes when he comes deep, that's not such his game. When he's a target man and uses his link play he is fantastic as he can win the ball in the air, score with his feet and can be the complete striker.
"Who wouldn't be worried about being compared to van Persie? But life is like that and you can only make your life with your own qualities and that's all.
"We will play to win and finish top of the Group. Sometimes it's hard to know whether to finish first or second but statistically it's still better to finish top of the Group.
"We have qualified for the last 16 the last 13 years. It's not the most glamorous thing but it's not as easy as it looks as there's not many teams that do it. So I am proud to do it."
