‘The better team lost, PSG told us’: Arsenal manager Arteta after UCL semis loss to Paris St. Germain

Trophy-hungry Arsenal will end one more season without any silverware after losing 2-1 and 3-1 on aggregate to Paris Saint-Germain in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League at Parc des Princes on Thursday, failing in their bid to become only the third team in the tournament’s history to reach the Champions League final after losing the first leg of its semifinal at home. Although Arsenal’s play was good throughout the semifinal in both legs, they lost both matches to a rock-solid PSG. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta believed Arsenal were the better side. “I think so (the better team lost). Especially for 160 minutes.

Arsenal’s hopes of catching up to Liverpool at the top of the table suffered an almighty blow when they were shocked by 16th placed West Ham United on Saturday. Arsenal, who are bereft of most of their forward players with Bukayo Saka, Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli all out injured, suffered another setback when midfielder Myles Lewis-Skelly was sent off with a red card. West Ham had taken the lead in the 44th minute when Jarrod Bowen scored from an Aaron Wan-Bissaka assist. The Gunners tried as hard as they could but could not find an equalizer with Mikel Arteta’s team still 7 points behind league leaders Liverpool who play Manchester City on Sunday. Last week, Spain’s Mikel Merino eased Arsenal’s attacking concerns with two late goals off the bench to secure a 2-0 win ...
