MIKEL ARTETA

It's a perfect day to celebrate. Hopefully we're all going to enjoy it because it was a tough day yesterday but it ended up in the best way possible so we're really happy to be here.

We had some difficult years and it took a while to build this team and this spirit but I think yesterday was the best example of what it means for us and how much we want it. It's for everyone to deserve - especially for the fans because they've been terrific through the year again. Now it's time to enjoy it - that's what we fight for and we've got the first trophy for years.

Olivier Giroud

It's a massive club and we have great support. Even away from home, the fans are always with us so it's a chance to enjoy, celebrate and have a good summer afterwards.

The celebrations were good fun with a bit of singing. It was great fun. I think the atmosphere between the players is so natural and good so we're all going to have fun.

OLIVIER GIROUD

I don't feel too bad! To be honest, it's amazing. I [did it] with Montpellier two years ago. It was maybe less than today because we are really happy to see all these people behind us. We couldn't know that there would be [such a] lot of people and it's a pleasure to share this moment with all of our fans.

It's amazing to win a trophy. It's a part of the story of Arsenal - it's really important and I'm really proud to have [won] this trophy. Hopefully next year and in the following years, we will have more.

We have a really good squad. I believe we have a good chance to have some great seasons.

I think Arsenal is a melting pot with a lot of nationalities. We have a good alchemy and the boss has always believed in us and trusted in the squad. We want to dedicate the trophy to him as well as all our fans.
