Former Arsenal striker Julio Baptista says that his loan spell at Arsenal last season taught him alot and allowed him to mature as a player.
Baptista, who is trying to re-ignite his career at Real Madrid, said: "It was difficult in London.
"Playing there in England was completely different to what I was used to.
"I couldn't play the same way here in Spain. It forced me to adjust - I matured a lot in London."
