Arteta on Bayern Munich knocking Arsenal out of the Champions League

Well, obviously very sad and disappointed with the final results. It was a tie of very small margins and in the first leg obviously we considered two very poor goals. It has a a big effect in the tie where they’re still alive, came here. I’m really proud of the players and how they stood up and the way they tried to play, what they tried to do, especially in the first half. And then it was a game that you could see an error, an individual magic moment. It was going to decide the time, the margins are so small and and yeah, we didn’t defend well. That’s all our boxing in that action and and we end up after throwing everything and trying everything, not having enough to score a goal and I have an option to go through the time well credit to the opponents as well. You know it’s it’s very difficult to to break opponents down, especially when they they play the manner that they play, which they never do. We had our moments, especially in the first half and second-half we struggled a bit more to keep that rhythm that momentum with the changes we tried in a in a different way and they’re never games with big, big chances. Very rare to see that at this stage of the Champions League, but it’s the moment to be next to our players to sign them for the journey and that we both together and fortunately end of today. It is painful but we have to learn from it. Any games from the Guardian was the was any tiredness maybe towards the end of that second-half it just look maybe that Byron was that little bit sharper as the game went on then do you think Byron maybe had had that extra bit of belief in how to win this kind of time. I don’t know if it was about belief. Obviously the goal obviously put them in a very different position and they kept adapting and and making changes to defend even deeper. But I saw the players really willing trying their best. It wasn’t enough. It’s true that we like that magic moment that is needed in this competition to unlucky to to make something happen when the game requires to open that door. We didn’t have it and and that’s what we had asked Jordan for myself the code is this a case of a test like this coming too soon on this team’s development and that we need years upon years to learn how to win game fighters Well we haven’t played in a competition for seven years. We haven’t been in this position for 14 years. There’s a reason for it you know and I would want to do everything Fast forward super quick in one season and and I thought we had the the capacity and the quality to to be in the semi finals because the margins have been very small. But those margins some that are coming from something else that that maybe we don’t have yet and we have to learn it And when you look historically all the clubs to get to certain states it took them 7-8 some of them ten years to do it but today that is not going to make us feel better that’s for sure. Alex BBC I’m Michael. It’s been too disappointing results for you in in a in a few days. How would you stop that disappointment affecting the the rest of the season? Well I I wish that I had today. There I was with the players to make them feel better and what I’m going to do for sure all the staff, all the coaches and stuff is be close to the players. I feel so grateful and to be their coach and to work with them every single day and what they need to do is that we stand right next to them, give them our support, our loves. And I will have to pick it up because on Saturday we have a big, big, big game. We are still playing for the Premier League. The Premier League is there and and we really want it and we have to show now that we are capable of turning this around. James. Yes, game. Hi Miguel. You Sterling that Bayern played in a manner that they never normally do. Could you just expand on that? And were you surprised by quite how defensive they were? No, because they were very similar at the Emirates and we expected that approach but they believed that obviously was the best way to to beat us and and credit to them and congratulate them for sure for what they’ve done because they’ve done it really well and and when they were little margins they were slightly better than us and that’s what they are through. OK, we’ve got the last two. Now firstly Kya from the game you said that moments were going to be the things at the side of the time that’s that turned out on the night. I know you’ve mentioned there that history has been part of it and sort of experience but what what else do you think makes the difference to to decide in the moment since the white bind where it was to take their moments and maybe I’ll still work tonight. Well there were two big moments in the first leg or three big moments in the first leg and and it didn’t go our way and and that’s a big factor and we will learn them from it. Me the first one, because I’m the maximum responsible for that and and we’ll try to be better. My season I’m Arsenal of course made a lot of progress this season which created high expectation after the defeats of Villa defeats tonight. How painful was this feel for you? Yeah is there and and it’s not going to go away certainly tonight, but I can guarantee you by tomorrow we are fully focused on Wolves and and everybody’s lifted because while we still have to play is beautiful. And I said before it’s time to be next to our players and in this moment no one you we intending a run and a draw that’s easy to price our players and to be behind them and to talk really nice things. The moment is now to be next to them.
