Abanglaho: Arteta should be modest, his words are very good for passers-by

In May 8, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Arsenal lost 1-2 away to Paris, with a total score of 1-3, and the Gunners missed the final. Arteta seemed not to admit defeat after the game, saying that the Gunners were the best team in the Champions League.

Villa old player Abanglaho said of Tamas: "The Gunners tried their best, and they were indeed the better side in the first 15 minutes. They should score two or three goals, but it also makes you realize what a top goalkeeper can do in such a game. But after that, I think Arsenal's momentum has dropped, and Odge and Martinelli played well, but they slowly fell silent in the second half.

"The coach said the best team lost, which is ridiculous, and that's why many passers-by fans don't want Arsenal to win any championship. I think Arteta has to pay attention to what he says sometimes, he talks about the past two seasons, ‘We have got so many points to win this year’s league title, Arsenal is the best team in Europe’ and so on.

"Sometimes after a failure, you have to be humble. Today's better teams won two rounds, at least in my opinion. It's not shameful to admit that Paris is the better-performing team and say 'we failed, but we'll be back next season'."
