Arsenal players ‘in tears’ in dressing room as PSG staff show class after loss
Mikel Arteta has revealed that Arsenal players cried in the dressing room after their Champions League semi-final loss at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain. The Gunners were beaten in Paris on Wednesday night, going down 3-1 on aggregate to miss out on a trip to Munich later this month. And the disappointment of another near-miss took its toll on his players after the match.
The Arsenal manager also claimed that PSG staff told him the Premier League giants were the better team for much of the two legs, despite losing 1-0 at the Emirates and 2-1 at the Parc des Princes. Arsenal had 19 shots in the second leg but managed just four on target with Gianluigi Donnarumma producing some brilliant saves to prevent a comeback following a strong start from the north Londoners. Fabian Ruiz doubled PSG’s advantage before an Achraf Hakimi finish all but killed the tie despite Bukayo Saka’s goal restoring some hope.
