Former Real Sociedad captain Zubimendi said last night: "They're difficult from start to finish. They don't care what the score is, they're going to give it their all. They have players with tremendous technical and physical ability.
"From this round onwards, all the teams are difficult. They're difficult in the other bracket too. Anyone would have been just as tough."
Zubimendi also said of Arsenal's recent form: "It's been tough both as a team and personally. We're playing every three days, and when you're injured you have to recover quickly, and today is a demonstration of that."
