Football fans said Mikel Arteta “worked badly” while carrying out an extremely clumsy interview after Arsenal’s defeat against PSG on Wednesday evening.
The French champions assured their place in Munich at the end of the month after beating Arsenal 2-1 Wednesday evening – 3-1 on the total – in a convincing victory.
Fabian Ruiz and Achraf Hakimi obtained the goals of PSG in the night – before a late goal from Bukayo Saka – but it was Gianluigi Donnarumma who took the applause.
The Italian goalkeeper was in a sensational form at the Parc des Princes while he kept Arsenal from a distance with a series of remarkable backups.
After the match, Arteta clearly indicated that he felt that Arsenal was the best side and, if he had been for the Italian, would have progressed to the final.
However, as he discussed the issue, he was called before suggesting that members of the PSG camp agreed with him.

Addressing the host of CBS Sports Anita Nneka Jones, Arteta said: “First, congratulations to PSG. They are in the final.
“These are not merits, this is what the scoring shows. This competition concerns the (penalty) in a box and, in both games, the man of the match was the goalkeeper. “
Jones refuted: “Well, today, he (the match player) was Achraf Hakimi”.
Arteta continued: “Well, I think it was clear who won the match today. I just talked to them and they had the same view on this subject.
“Very disappointed not to be in the final, but we must accept that performance is not enough at the end. You must have the ability to win the game in the box. ”
Curious to say what Arteta meant, Jones asked: “Who did you speak to?”
The boss of Arsenal said: “Some people from them (PSG)”.
The interviewer asked: “And they shared this opinion?”
“All,” insisted Arteta.
The Spaniard then seemed to be freezing while the recent interview was carried out. After a long question from Jones, Arteta said: “That’s all in the past”.

Fans accused Arteta of “final” after the interviewer asked him to explain himself
Positioning a clip for the interview, a fan wrote: “Arteta goes wrong when the interviewer does not buy his apologies”.
The boss of PSG, Luis Enrique, did not agree, however, with the affirmations of the Spaniard because he said: “I do not agree at all.
“Arteta is a great friend, but I do not fully agree. They played well. They played as they wanted.
“We have scored more goals than them. Arsenal has played well, we have suffered a lot.
Arteta also said that Arsenal did not deserve to lose against PSG and that his players were left in tears while the Gunners collapsed from the Champions League.
Arteta said: “One hundred percent, there was no better team (than Arsenal) in the competition of what I saw, but we came out.
“When you analyze the two games, which was the best player, the MVP, it was the same player – the goalkeeper.
“And the Champions League is decided in the boxes and it won the match for them, because obviously today after 20 minutes and what also happened in London, the result should have been very different. So I can take a lot of positive points and I am very proud of the team.
“But at the same time, I am so upset, so bored that we failed to do it.
“Today, I saw how much they want because they were in tears.”
