Arsenal midfielder Mohamed Elneny has insisted that his side's return to winning ways in the Premier League has left them in high spirits ahead of their Champions League showdown with Bayern Munich.
Elneny made his return from international duty as a second-half substitute in that win, having suffered disappointment in the final of the Africa Cup of Nations as Egypt lost 2-1 to Cameroon despite opening the scoring himself.
The midfielder is still confident he can win a trophy with the gunners this season, stating that they'll head into the last 16 of the UCL in confident mood, and is still hopeful of the English top-flight, despite trailing Chelsea by 10 points.
"All our focus is on competing for all of the available titles including the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League so that we can achieve something together," the Egypt star told FourFourTwo.
"That's why beating Hull was so important, because we have an important Champions League game coming up. It means we will now travel with confidence on our side and that is extremely important before a big game like this."
Elneny also commended Arsene Wenger's ability to make the squad welcoming for everyone as the Frenchman's future has been making headlines again, with the Arsenal manager's contract set to expire at the end of the season.
"Back here, I feel I am in my home," the 24-year-old said. "We are one family and you work really hard with people who really love you.
"That made me adapt quickly, and helped me to start training immediately as I felt that the team really needs me now. I don't want a vacation or a time off, I want to work hard and play with the team.
"Everything is going fine here. We all love our coach and we don't concentrate on anything other than the next game."
