— Today we deserved to lose. I think we started very well and dominated. We didn’t defend the penalty area well enough. Credit to them. They scored a wonderful goal from a good pass. Then the game changes, and you start playing a different game. You have to adapt, and we didn’t do that well enough. I am very disappointed.

We got pulled into a game they constantly seek, and we couldn’t play the game we wanted. We had two good chances — for Mikel and Declan. We lacked the finishing. We can talk about anything we want. It will be hard for us to find the words today. We need to demonstrate this on the pitch on Wednesday evening (the match against Inter in the Champions League — ed.). You have to be at your best every time to have a chance of winning, — said Arteta.
