Ed Aarons was at San Siro. His report is in. Here it is! Thanks for reading this MBM. Nighty night.
A frustrated Mikel Arteta, irritation not too far from the surface, speaks to TNT Sports. “I am very proud of my players and the game they played … the level of domination … I feel we were very harshly done … in a sense that is obvious … the penalty … one of them, both … if you are going to give a penalty in the other box, obviously that one has to be, because [Yann Sommer] punches [Mikel Merino] in the head … [Merino’s handball] is just a deflection … there is no danger … nothing you can do … the ball is very close … I don’t know how you get away from it … especially if you are going to give that one, then the other one has to be 100 percent a penalty … with the amount of situations we generated we should have scored a couple of goals at least … that’s on us … but the way the team played, that was us … the level of quality … we dominated one of the best teams in Europe in their own stadium … every decision in the box makes a difference, it is clear … I look forward to [the Chelsea game] … if the team plays the way we played here we can go to Chelsea and win.”
