Arsenal Coach, Mikel Arteta has revealed that Paris Saint-Germain’s coaches told him that Arsenal played better than them despite the Parisiens advancing to the Champions League final, on Wednesday night.
Trailing 1-0 after the first leg at the Emirates , Arsenal started brightly but saw early chances denied by the superb Gianluigi Donnarumma. PSG took advantage, scoring either side of half time through Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi to put Luis Enrique ’s side well ahead
. Arsenal continued to battle away – and pulled one goal back through Bukayo Saka – but the Gunners fell short of their first Champions League final since 2006.
The result was a bitter pill to swallow for Arteta, who believed that his side had been the better team for large periods of the clash at the Parc des Princes.
And the Spaniard revealed that even those in the PSG dugout felt the same at full-time.
‘First, congratulations to PSG for reaching the final,’ he told TNT Sports.
