Arteta said after the defeat: “We were not good enough, and we have to apologise for it.”

“We needed more drive, more hunger to win at any cost in every single action, much more. We were not at our level.”

“I’m really disappointed with the performance, first of all. Not with the attitude but how much purpose we have and what determination we showed to change the game when it’s difficult to play against the way they play.”

He added: “I have played in games like that for the past 18 years and I know how complicated it is to come here. It’s no surprise the difficulties you are going to face. But when we do that, we have to face it in a different way.”

“It is really hurting. It is a competition that is very related to our history and to get out of it is a big bump.”
