In January 2001, Mikel Arteta left Barcelona for Paris St-Germain in a move that would ultimately help transform one of the most intelligent midfielders of his generation into one of the game's top coaches.
It was where he first displayed the leadership qualities he has since shown as Arsenal manager - the ones he will need to lean into when they visit the Parc des Princes looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit in the Champions League semi-final second leg on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old Arteta, faced with the impossible task of usurping the likes of Pep Guardiola, French World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit, Dutch international Phillip Cocu and Xavi Hernandez in Barcelona’s star-studded midfield, had moved to the French capital on an 18-month loan deal.
