Arteta: It should be 3:0 in 20 minutes, no one is better than us in this Champions League

Sports Weekly All Media Report

Arsenal lost to Paris Saint-Germain, and under the leadership of Arteta, all of them ended here. The outside world inevitably summarizes many inevitable consequences, but the Arsenal general will only be full of reluctance. In both rounds, Donnarumma was one of the best players, which itself proves that Arsenal can be eliminated with his head high.

Gunners coach Arteta said: "First of all, I want to congratulate Paris on reaching the final. For the analysis of the game, I need to calm down and then do it. In the two rounds, the best player in Paris was the goalkeeper, and he decided on the game. We were very close, much closer than the score showed. Unfortunately, we were out. But I was proud of the players. In the first 20 minutes, we should have played 3-0. In this kind of game, you need something to go in a direction that is good for you, but that didn't appear. In both rounds, we were very close to making breakthroughs for a long time, we performed much better than our opponents, but we didn't reach the final, which was painful."

Arteta said: "From what I see, I think 100% of the time, There is no better team in this Champions League, but we are out. The Champions League is determined by two penalty areas, and the forward and goalkeeper are in the penalty area, and their forward and goalkeeper have performed best in both rounds. I am proud of the players. They deserve a lot of praise, especially given our injury situation, which is probably the worst situation to prepare for the Champions League semi-finals. It is possible to have such performance under such unfavorable conditions, which makes me more optimistic about the future. But tonight, I was very annoyed."

Arsenal captain Odegao said: "We made a good attempt, the game started well, we took the initiative, had a fierce momentum, and had several good opportunities, but it was not enough in the end. To praise the opponent's goalkeeper, he made some incredible saves. We took the ball OK, we controlled the game, but in the penalty area, we were not strong enough, the game lost here. It was painful, we had to learn from the lessons and use this experience to become stronger. The game was decided in front of the goal, and we needed to be sharper in front of the goal."

Gunner midfielder Rice said: "If we could seize one opportunity in the first 15 to 20 minutes, the game would change. We made two mistakes and let the opponent score two goals. We tried our best, but things went against our wishes. We could have scored more goals in the two rounds, but Donnarumma was incredible. Sometimes failure is the mother of success, and the players and collectives need to overcome setbacks to grow. We were both at this stage in the Premier League and the Champions League. We were at this stage in this stage in this back-to-back season, but we had to continue Go forward, keep on keeping faith."

Rice believes that the injury situation has affected the team. "We have been doing it all season without five or six best players, and it is incredible that we still achieve the current results. You can see that we maintain our beliefs and can score two or three goals with better luck. As a result, we didn't score at the beginning, but they made it, which is very bad. There are 3 games left in the season, and we have to keep moving forward."

Regarding the Gunners' 5-year trophy drought, Rice said: "We are all eager to win the championship. Playing football is to win the trophy. We are very close several times, but not enough. Arsenal deserves to fight for the trophy, and there are not too many things we can do without doing. Many superstars only reach the top after failing."
