Having failed to reach a first Champions League final since 2006, Arsenal boss,Mikel Arteta revealed his player, who he rated as the best in the competition, were in tears in the dressing room following the loss – and he was “upset and so annoyed” they not find a way to turn around the tie.
Asked whether he agreed with Arteta, PSG boss Luis Enrique said his own side deserved to reach the final.
“Mikel Arteta is a great friend, but I don’t agree at all,” he added. “They played in a clever way and they got the match to the right moment for them because they played in the way they wanted, and the way they love. But in the two legs we scored more than them and that is the most important thing in football.
“Arsenal played a great match, and we suffered, but we deserved to get to the final. They are a great team, but I repeat, we scored more goals, we played in a great way in the first leg, and the second half of the second leg was a different match, and we could have scored even more goals.”
