In the first round of the Champions League held in the early morning of this morning, Arsenal defeated Athletic Bilbao 2-0 away. Arsenal defender Timber was interviewed after the game.

Arsenal has conceded only 18 goals in the past 25 games, and has once again scored a clean sheet in this game. Timber began by saying: "It's not only the back line, but also the joint efforts of goalkeeper Raya and the team. I think we have made amazing efforts in defense, our defensive standards are very high, which is amazing. It's my honor to be one of them."

Timber went on to say: "Every point is important, I think we've seen this in the Champions League last season, and being able to get 3 points here is a good start. Now we have to rest and recover because we have an important game this Sunday, and we look forward to playing at our home court."

Arsenal Two substitutes Martinelli and Trosad scored goals in this game, and Timber said: "They looked very happy, they performed very well. I think our lineup is great and we have a strong team. So when the players come on the bench, they can change the game like this. It will be very helpful for our whole season."

Finally, Timber said: "It is important to win the first round of the Champions League, and playing in this away game is not easy, and you can see it. The game was difficult, but we got 3 points. I want to especially praise Martinelli and Trosad, who performed very well."
