And last word on that penalty shout goes to the Arsenal manager: “They said they checked it and decided it was not a penalty,” he says, not sounding entirely convinced.
Mikel Arteta: “The game had different moments,” he tells TNT. “We started really well, we were dominant, didn’t concede anything. We scored a really good goal and after that is the moment of the game when Ben [White] is in front of [Manuel] Neuer and if it was 2-0 it would have been a very different game.
“They scored and it created some uncertainty, the second goal was unusual for us to concede but it is the Champions League, you make a mistake and get punished. We allowed them the spaces to run and they were very dangerous but even at 2-1 we tried to make a rhythm, we were composed and didn’t try to rush things and the changes had an impact on the game.”
