Mikel Arteta expressed his disbelief over two key refereeing decisions, stating, "I don't understand... If that's a penalty then the one on Mikel Merino... has to be 1000% a penalty."
Arteta criticized the refereeing, stating, "These are the margins in this game and it's very very difficult to accept." He emphasized the inconsistency in VAR decisions.
After the game, Arteta acknowledged the situation, saying, "There's nothing unfortunately that we can do, we are not going to be able to change it so... we have to accept it and move on."
Mikel Arteta highlighted the context of the game, saying, "We were told at the start of the season that wasn't a penalty, that was clear."
