"Regardless of the result I will say the same thing. I am extremely proud of the team and the players for the way we played and dominated this game against this Man City. From my side as a coach that requires compliments from my side as a coach. After that, very disappointed with the result. It is true that scoring at the end gives you a bit of emotion, a bit of a taste, but then I think the first thought for me was to win the game."
"Everybody will analyse the game in a different way. I think we did a lot of very good things very, very well in order to get the game to that state. From obviously every coach has to do the best thing to win the game."
Manchester City took the lead through Erling Haaland after he outpaced William Saliba and finished past David Raya. Arsenal responded late in stoppage time when Gabriel Martinelli scored to secure a 1-1 draw. Mikel Arteta selected three central defensive midfielders, a choice that was criticised for ceding initiative to City. Half-time changes introducing Bukayo Saka and Eberechi Eze shifted momentum and helped Arsenal earn a deserved point. Arteta described pride in the players’ performance but stated clear disappointment at not winning, emphasising that the primary aim remained to secure victory.
