But now‚ in a revealing sit-down with sporting director Ross Wilson‚ chief executive David Hopkinson and chief financial officer Simon Capper‚ they lift the lid on how the club emerged from that summer in a stronger position than many had anticipated - in the dugout‚ and on the pitch and balance sheet.

Atletico Madrid have vented their fury at their Champions League exit at the behaviour of both Arsenal's players and the refereeing team at the Emirates behind the scenes‚ according to reports in Spain. Diego Simeone's men were knocked out of the tournament against a torrid backdrop in north London‚ with the Argentine manager's rage boiling over to the extent that he pushed Arsenal sporting director Andrea Berta at full-time. But the long-serving Atletico head coach opted to keep a cooler head in his post-match press conference‚ claiming that he did not want to give 'excuses' for the 1-0 away defeat.
