Jindřich Trpišovský in Awe of Arteta’s Relentless Arsenal: “I’ve Never Seen Anything Like It”

Slavia Prague manager Jindřich Trpišovský has joined the growing list of admirers hailing Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal after his side were dismantled 3–0 in the Champions League. The result not only sealed another emphatic European win for the Gunners but also cemented a historic milestone, eight consecutive clean sheets across all competitions, matching a record that has stood since 1903, more than a century ago.

Arteta’s men have been in imperious form, and their performances are now reflected in an astonishing statistic: no manager in history has a better Champions League win rate with an English club than Mikel Arteta, standing at a remarkable 64% (minimum 20 games managed). It’s a figure that highlights just how dominant Arsenal have become under the Spaniard’s leadership.

Speaking after the match, Trpišovský couldn’t hide his admiration for what he had just witnessed on the pitch.

“If I were to list everything dangerous about Arsenal, we wouldn’t make it to training! They’re a mature team that controls games. They have tremendous technical quality, the players are big, strong, fast & in top form right now.”

His words painted the picture of a side operating at the very peak of their powers, confident, composed, and complete. Arsenal’s blend of physicality and finesse has overwhelmed opponents, with Declan Rice’s commanding presence in midfield often serving as the heartbeat of their play.

Trpišovský went on to highlight exactly what makes this Arsenal team so special.

“I have to say that Arsenal’s standards are astounding. I’ve never seen anything like it. They have everything coming together, height, power, timing, head play & most importantly, that playmaking from Declan Rice.”

Rice, who has been a revelation since joining the club, epitomizes the balance in Arteta’s system, the ability to dominate both defensively and creatively.

With eight straight clean sheets, ten consecutive wins, and a record-breaking defensive streak that stretches back over a century, this Arsenal side is not just chasing trophies, they’re rewriting the club’s history. And with the respect of rival managers like Trpišovský echoing across Europe, it’s clear that Arteta’s Arsenal are now setting a new benchmark for excellence.
