    "editor1": "UEFA Champions League: Jakub Kiwior is relishing the opportunities provided by Mikel Arteta as he helped Arsenal to a 3-0 win at home against Real Madrid in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals.<p>Focusing on the second leg, the Polish defender explained how much he\u2019s looking forward to his first time at Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI think this is an amazing stadium. I've never been there, and of course for me this is a very good experience. I think it's one of the biggest stadiums, so I'm waiting for this game. It's important to stay calm, but we have to win the second leg,\" Kiwior told Arsenal's website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Asked to reflect on the 3-0 success in the first leg, during which he helped keep a clean sheet alongside William Saliba, Jakub spoke about how good it felt to win with such conviction. He also mentioned Gabriel Magalhaes, whose season-ending injury provided the opportunity for Kiwior to stride into the first team.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cAfter the game I felt really good,\u201d he said. \u201cYou know that after a game like that, there's no other way, you just feel really good, but I still feel like it's not over yet. The most difficult thing is still ahead of us. So I'm still cool-headed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI didn't feel nervous. Of course, this was one of the biggest games in my career. But of course, I had the big game (against Kylian Mbappe) in the national team, but I was ready for everything, and I felt very good before the game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cEvery clean sheet is perfect for me, because this is my job on the pitch. Mbappe is very quick, he's a very good player, one of the best strikers at this moment.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI have to be ready for everything. Of course Gabi could\u2019ve played this game but he's injured, and I have to be ready for everything. I didn't wait for this moment, but I hope he comes back very quick and we can train together fighting for the one position,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commenting on his partnership with William Saliba, Kiwior was delighted to learn that the two have never lost a game that they\u2019ve started together.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>\u201cI have to be ready for everything. Of course Gabi could\u2019ve played this game but he's injured, and I have to be ready for everything. I didn't wait for this moment, but I hope he comes back very quick and we can train together fighting for the one position,\" he said.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><b>Also Read: <\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cricketnmore.com\/tagging\/highest-tax-paying-cricketers\">Highest tax paying cricketers<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Article Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/ians.in\/english-wire\/sports\/1\" rel=\"nofollow\">IANS<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n",
