Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has claimed that Arsenal is the best club in this year’s UEFA Champions League. Speaking to journalists after losing to France’s PSG in the Champions League semi-final, Arteta said he was proud of his team’s players. “I’m proud of these players and I’m 100% certain that Arsenal is the best club among those who competed in the Champions League this season. However, we have been eliminated from the tournament without reaching the final,” Arteta said.
Arteta further stated that the team played well in both semi-final matches and created good opportunities, but if they had converted those chances into goals, the team would have been in the final. As Arsenal worked to secure a place in the Champions League final for the first time since 2006, Arteta said it was a heartbreaking moment to see the players’ disappointment in the changing room after the match.
Arteta further said that in both matches against PSG, the difference was made by PSG’s goalkeeper, Italy’s Gianluigi Donnarumma. He also said that looking at the players’ performance in this tournament, many good things were seen, and based on that experience, they will work to achieve good results in the upcoming tournament.
